SEVERAL of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge have recently had Athletic sports. The time made was as a whole not superior to ours; but the account in the Under-graduates' Journal is so full of typographical errors that it is hardly safe to trust the record. At Lincoln College, Oxford, the best thing was the 150 yard handicap race, which was won in 14 2/5 sec. The high jump was singularly bad, - 4 ft. 7 inches.

...election of a man who has never rowed on the University crew to the position of captain of the crew marks a new departure in our boating affairs. The leaf which we are about to turn will, we trust, be brighter than the last one. For the new captain of the crew we can confidently promise that his sole idea will be the conscientious discharge of the responsible duties committed to his charge. He believes in having only those men in the boat who are (to use his own words) "heart and soul in the crew," and he will endeavor...
