SIR,—With reference to Dr. Garrod's review of Mr. Marple's University

Slang, I can testify that during my time (1906-10), the terms " Radder " and " Bodder " were in common use, and that, at least at Pembroke, of which he was dean before going to Queen's, Dr. Streeter was referred to as " Struggings " (not " Stuggins," which must be a misprint).—Yours faithfully, ROGER H. SOLTAU. Senior Common Room. University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.
