"After mature consideration it was decided to omit the list
of public conveniences, and to add other information in its place." A mistake. What topographical information could be more valuable ? The enterprising and efficient undergraduates of both sexes who arc responsible for Varsity, by far the best university magazine of its kind yet published (for what that may be worth ; it is alone of its kind), have just issued at the very reasonable price of 3s. the third edition of Varsity Handbook, designed to tell everyone, and the freshmen in particular, anything anyone could want to know about Cambridge past or present. It fulfils its purpose admirably. As samples of the information proffered and withheld let this suffice: "There are something just under to,000 resident members of the Cambridge University, about 7,500 of whom are in statu pupillari."
"Religion plays a more prominent part in Cambridge than before the war. It is centred largely on college chapels, nearly all of which have difficulty in accommodating their large Sunday evening congregations."
