Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—The number of undergraduates in residence this term is 665, as against 1227 during the corresponding term last year, and about 3600 in a normal term. Amongst the 11,000 members of the University in the land, sea, and air services, 1723 casualties have been notified; 697 have been killed and 892 wounded. The Victoria Cross has been awarded to three Cambridge men, the D.S.O. to 52, and the Military Cross to 103; the services of 714 members of the University have been recognised. Owing to the small number of undergraduates in residence a considerable amount of distress prevails amongst the keepers of licensed lodgings, some 1500 in number, and it has been suggested that munition workers might be economically housed in the vacant quarters; several large empty buildings are available which might be converted into munition factories. The late Rev. Dr. Streame left the sum of 500l. to Corpus Christi College, to be used as the master and fellows shall determine.
