Answers to Correspondents.

Sketch of men standing in a row

Dr. J. G. F-ndl-y.—Your story describing the angling experiences of the Attorney-General in the V. C. Well of Knowledge, and telling how he caught a thousand-pound Salmon, is a fishy tale. MSS. Will be returned on receipt of a sufficiently-stamped envelope.

G. S. Pr-se.—No. The position of tennis champion carries with it no prerogative in the way of being late for photograph appointments. When your absence affects twenty-two others you should either shave over-night or have less breakfast.

F. N. J-hns.—We agree with you that the Men's Robing Room is over far from the Science Building. Although phenol dose not burn through trousers, we cannot but admire your celerity in obviatin any risk.

Mr. Br-k.—Your" Note on the Cow Question" received. We sympathise—both with you and the cow, but can take no action. Try another legal adviser next time.

F. A. de la M-r-.—Complaint received. With eggs at 3d a piece the fact that your tea cost 2/3 does not necessarily argue fraud on the part of the management. Your offer to toss Mrs. Brook "doubles or quits" was sporting, but ill-advised in view of the recent "raid."

R-x M-s-n.—We think so. Why not? Few crack walkers have your natural aptitude to begin with, and your style is after Kerr's own—rather a long was after as yet; but courage.

J.W.A.H.-n-n.—Certainly not. You are the last man in the College we should have suspected of any tendency to professionalism. Since the other cracks had however, signed the declaration, your failure to do so naturally excited some comment.

Pr-f-s-r-Br—n.—Yours to hand of Sunday 12th ult. covering jest arising out of a personal experience. "Gutta percha"—"a person who sits or perches in the gutter" is not bad for a Glesga' body (presuming, of course, that it is original). Nevertheless, is it now your opinion that the situation referred to was slightly derogatory, not only to professorial dignity, but also to your ideal of a classical pose. Caesar would not have acted thus.
