These, differences are plain in discipline, in daily life, in the relations between faculty and undergraduates (never students at Cambridge), and in certain customs peculiar to this venerable seat of learning. There is little about the dingy railroad station at Cambridge to suggest that somewhere thereabouts stands a great university town. A policeman of whom you ask your way to The University offers no help; he cannot, simply because there are so many colleges here, each in itself a little university. However, after driving into town along a wide thoroughfare which your taxi man tells you had been in ancient times a highway used by Roman soldiers, you finally arrive at St. Johns college which you are to enter. Because John Harvard, principal founder of the famous American center of learning which bears his name, was educated at Cambridge, this university holds a special interest for people ir. the United States. John Harvard entered Emmanuel college in 1627. In an old leather book there you see his signature, and a notation that he paid a ten shilling matriculation fee. Now a tablet is set up in the chapel at Emmanuel to, his memory; and last year Cambridge in England observed with sympathetic interest the movement in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Harvard college. Each Cambridge college is a separate entity. Each has its own chapel, lecture rooms and assembly hall, but most of the space is devoted to residential quarters. This independence has been characteristic of Cambridge from its earliest days. It dates from the foundations established by religious orders, such as the Dominicans and the Carmelites, most of which belong to the first part of the Thirteenth century. It continued with the foundation of the colleges, the first of which was Peterhouse, established in 1284. The majority of the others followed in the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth centuries, though Selwyn was founded as recently as 1882. Finally Admitted Women. Cambridge long held out against the admission of women students, and, though it was obliged at last to surrender and welcome the two girls colleges, Newham and Gir-tomore than sixty years ago, it still, unlike Oxford, does not allow women to take actual degrees. The undergraduettes attend lectures, both university and college, with the undergraduates, and take the same honors examinations (they are not allowed to take the easier pass examinations), but if successful their reward is merely a title to a degree. Every college has its own staff of tutors and its own endowments which, together with the fees from its student members, provide for its upkeep. In many cases the colleges have acquired much landed property. From the beginning it . is impressed on the student that the loyalty of the individual is first to his college. It is by no means uncommon for the members of a family to send their sons to one particular-college, generation after generation. But in the background there remains the Alma Mater, the university itself. To the initiated it is your college that you mention first; to the stranger, if asked, you announce yourself as a Cambridge man. The university, like a college, is a corporate body with its own , endowments supplemented by contributions from the colleges and the government. It also has its own lecture halls and research laboratories .and it alone appoints the pro- -' fessors, who are the elite among the dons, or faculty members. While the ultimate governing au n, .

Two parsons were having lunch at a farm during the progress thority is the senate, which consists of those who have taken the degree of master of arts, the executive authority is vested in the chancellor, elected by the senate, who is now always a prominent national figure. In practice, however, his duties are performed by the resident vice chancellor, who is invariably the head of one of the colleges. Gowns Are Important. This division of the universitys life into colleges is seen in the differences in the gowns, which all undergraduates must possess. These are curiously abbreviated garments, a survival of the clerks uniform of the Middle ages; but the forms of each college have distinctive features, such as the three small velvet chevrons on the sleeves of those of Giants Big Threat Johns. Normally the gowns are black, but those of Caius (pronounced Keys) are blue with black facings, those of Trinity a darker blue. and their accompanying They, square mortar-boar- d caps, are often in the most decrepit state, since a tattered gown or a crushed cap is regarded as a sign of seniority; hence, freshers, as the first-yeare called, freundergraduates quently indulge in an orgy of to acquire this outward mark of seniority. This procedure can prove expensive. It may involve the purchase of an entire new outfit to secure the approval of outraged authority. Gowns are worn when attending lectures, or when dining in college hall, which is the one occasion when the members of. a college meet (together, a certain number of nights each week, whether they wish to or ar near-destructi- on best-dress- ed ; ... - what they say: The more we look at the rest of the league the more we figure those Cubs are the ones we have to beat. Of course you cant tell how well their pitching will stand up, but with Hartnett back there catching it looks a lot better. They stayed up close to the top when they were having plenty of hard luck and now their power boys are back in action theyre bound to be tougher. What? Yes, thats right. Theyve been something like us with Leiber out and Otty not doing so good. Dont know when Hankll be back, either. You know they only gave him light food when he was in the hospital and now hes got to build himself up again before he can take chances on hard playing in the hot sun. Tough break that, because he certainly looked swell in spring training, but let me tell you something. That other guy out there in his place (Ripple) isnt going to hurt any ball club. Hes hitting close .to .300, won a couple of games on the road that nobody seems to have given him credit for, and he can field as good, or better, than anybody you can name in the league.

Sir, says the buller, polite but puffing, the proctor would like to speak to you for a moment. And when you are brought before the majesty of authority, the conversation is equally courteous. Sir, I regret to see that you are not properly dressed; I should be glad if you would call on me in the morning. Your name is noted in a book, and when in a spirit of due repentance the visit is made the next day, you are fined. If, you are a bachelor of arts the fine is larger, for surely years of descretion, accompanied by the right to wear a longer gown and a proper tassel on the cap, must be expected to bring a proper respect for the laws of the university. Offenses committed on Sunday also involve a double penalty. No offender escapes. Friendly rivalry among the colleges is shown in the wide variety of sports jackets, or blazers. They appear in all colors and combinations of colors, and may denote not only membership in some particular college but also some athletic achievement, such as, membership in the cricket eleven or the, Rugby football team. Most coveted is the pale blue blazer which only those who have represented the university in athletics are entitled to wear. For the remainder of their lives these fortunate ones will be remembered as Cambridge blues.
