The four College seem to have settled down after the wild rush of the Tournament, and all the Magazines proclaim that the game was good. They proclaim also in not less certain terms that the traces have tightened and that more game is afoot. At Auckland University College the ladies still publish Marte Nostro, so the press is still in the hands of the enemy, so to speak. Perhaps this accounts for the absence of reference to such institutions as Hockey, Football, and Athletic Clubs—or can it be that these things, so prolific of joy to us, no longer spread their broadening influence over the Northern College? Even the Ladies' Hockey Club has no deeds recorded. We cannot believe this has died, however, for a College without a a Ladies' Hockey Club is itself dead—at least Victoria College thinks so now. In some notes on old students we are glad to see that our old friends M. A. Hunter and E. H. Strong, of Auckland's 1902 Eater Team are fulfilling their promise of scholarship in England. We are sorry to hear that Hull, who has attended the three tournaments, has been down with pneumonia.

The Canterbury College Review has become a monthly publication. The editor has our sympathy—two a year is enough for us. Football has the place of honour as the winter sport of Canterbury College, and there is a team in for each of the Senior, Junior, and Third-class competitions. The Senior team page 64 had not succeeded in winning any matches this season, but it makes a fight each week, and sticks pluckily to the task.

Otago University is also given over to the noble game of football, and here and there it snatches a victory. We note that the Governors of Otago University are just now in a state of mild excitement at the suggestion that Auckland should specialize in Mines and specialize away their Mining School. Otago's School of Mines and specialize away their Mining School. Otago's School of Mines has a long and honourable history and we do not wonder that the Governors should receive the hint with some enthusiasm.

The great honour of producing New Zealand's first Rhodes Scholar (to which reference is made in another column,) has fallen to Otago University.

It may be interesting to compare the Honours gained by each of the Colleges in last year's examinations. Otago University, counting Arts, Science and Law, gained 5 first class, 4 second class, and 1 third class. Canterbury College gained 1 first class 2 seconds and 2 thirds, Auckland 2 seconds and and Victoria College 1 first, (part of which belongs to Auckland) and 1 third. In senior Scholarships Canterbury leadsd then way with 4, Otago gaining 2 and Auckland and Victoria College 1 each. Canterbury gained the Tinline and Otago the 1851 Research Scholarship, while Victoria College is credited with the Brown Essay Prize. Though, Victoria college is behind in honours, as is to be expected so long as such a large proportion of Students is engaged in business during the day, she leads the way in Passes for sections of the Pass Degree—excluding the special schools of Law, Engineering and Medicine. Here Auckland has 20 passes, Otago 29, Canterbury 33, and and Victoria College 39.
