THE EAGLE.

"ROLLING IN."

m�N the year 1804, on a cold, raw December �� e�ening, a group of boys, numbering ab�ut

six or seven, was gathered round a blazmg fire in the hall of the Head-master's house at Harrow.

. Evidently, from their loud tones and animated gestures, the subject of their conversation was one of considerable interest, and the opinions of the group were much divided on the question they were debating so excitedly.

" Just fancy! Morgan," cried the tallest of the party, "young Tattersall has been proposed by Byron for our Rolling in !"

"Young Tattersall-oh, blow the little fool! we really can't have him. What on earth has induced Byron to put him up ?"

" Oh, I suppose he's an aristocrat," replied the tall speaker, with a sneer, "and so our 'Old English Baron ' chums him, you see."

"Come, Benson," put in another, "that's not the reason at all. Tattersall's a plucky little beggar, and you can't wonder at Byron wanting to do him a good turn, considering he saved his life yesterday afternoon."

THE EAGLE.

CAMBRIDGE IN OLDEN TIMES.

�EFORE ever reading a book on ArchreologY1 'BJ I had heard of the Celts, the Romans, and

� the Saxons, but knew very little about them,

except that the former went about clad in a summer

suit of paint of Cambridge blue, and that the latter

were so called from the small knives (seaxes) which

they wore, and used over their wassails in a manner

very much resembling that in which our cousins 'over

the millpond' are said to use their's in the San

Francisco bars. Nor was I alone in my ignorance,

if it be true that a former undergraduate, afterwards

'ploughed for the Little-go; who asked about a certain

altar not a hundred miles from the Bridge of Sighs,

labelled 'Apollonis Aram' &c., was contented with'

the meagre and somewhat incorrect information that

it was erected in memory of a brother of Eugene Aram

and a former member of the College. Having since

derived a considerable amount of amusement in a quiet sort of way, by studying the remains of the people of whom I have spoken, which are common enough about here, I should like to suggest to others who have nothing particular to do in the afternoons, and who wish to combine exercise with instruction, t o do the same. An old British urn broken into a few hundred fragments is of no particular value to

CAMBRIDGE LIFE IN THE LATTER PART

OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.

[ CO'ltintted].

91�F we now turn from Masters and Fellows to the

�� Undergraduates, at that time often designated

'the boys,' and boys the great majority cer

tainly were in respect of age, we cannot but be

struck by the presence of conditions which must greatly enhance our admiration of those scholars who succeeded in the pursuit of learning. In one sense the universities might be said to be still national, in

that they fairly represented all classes of the people. Scions of noble houses and sons of country squires

found themselves side by side in the schools, the chapel, and the hall, with the sons of poor parsons,

of yeomen, husbandmen, tailors, shoemakers, carpenters, innkeepers, tallow-chandlers, bakers, vintners, blacksmiths, curriers. ostlers, labourers, and others whose,

humble origin may be inferred from the fact that they are described merely as 'plebeians: I take

these descriptions (which occur, most of them again

and again) from the 'Book of Admissions' to our college, recently published by an honoured member of our society,-a record which is a valuable contribution to our more accurate knowledge of University history. It also illustrates, I think, in a very noteworthy manner, ,t1!e fact that the. great middle class of

FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS OF

ST JOHN'S COLLEGE.

(Continu.d from Vol. XIV. pag. 354·)

mHE benefactions of the early part of this century 1

�� are a substantial and practical evidence of the

, attachment to the College and devotion to its

interests which accompanied a great return of pros

perity. Seldom, if ever, in modern times was the

College more flourishing, alike in numbers, in Ptestige,

and in unity of spirit, than under the powerful influence

and munificent leadership of Dr James Wood. The

erection of the Fourth Court is a witness both to the

requirements of our increased numbers and to the

zeal evoked to meet the emergency. We must how

e�er guard against assigning to individuals credit,

elther good or bad, which belongs to the circumstances of the time in which they lived.

A comparison of our numbers with those of the rest of the University will shew how commonly all COlleg es rose and fell together. We have seen that
