CAMBRIDGE IN SOUTH LONDON. [To THE EDITOR OF THR "SPECTATOR.']
should he much obliged if you would kindly allow me to say, in reply to "BA. Cantab." (Spectator, November 11th), that for many years Cambridge House has had a succession of undergraduate secretaries in every College at Cambridge, and that the Head of the House has held a meeting annually in every College. In addition to these small meetings, large public meetings have for the last few years been held annually in Cambridge, which have been extensively advertised, and such speakers as the Bishop of London, the Bishop of South- wark, and Mr. Alfred Lyttelton have spoken. It is, therefore, difficult to see what more could have been done in the way of self-advertisement up at Cambridge. As to the wider circle of past Cambridge men we may be to blame. We did some- thing to remedy the defect lately in connection with our meeting at the Mansion House on October 31st, for which we issued over three thousand invitations to Cambridge men who had addresses in London, not including clergy. So far, less than £500 of the 21,450 we asked for has been the result of this bolder importunity.—I am, Sir, &e.,
W. J. CONYBEARE.
