A LONG-LIVED UNDERGRADUATES' SOCIETY. [TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:1
SIR,—I do not know if the following particulars of a Society somewhat analogous to the " Kaleidoscopes " mentioned in the Spectator of January 31st are of interest. In June, 1878, nine men of Trinity College, Cambridge, about to go down after taking their degree, formed themselves into a Society under the name of " The IX. Pins." Rule 3 of the Society is that " the above-named contemporaries of Trinity College, Cam. bridge, dine together in London at least once a year." In June last the twenty-seventh dinner took place. One member has not missed a single meeting, and another only once. The members are scattered all over Great Britain. Their professions comprise barristers and parsons, together with one beaker, one brewer, one stockbroker, and one publisher.— I am, Sir, &c.,
THE HON. SECRETARY OF " THE IX. PINS."
