A LONG-LIVED UNDERGRADUATES' SOCIETY.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—In reply to the inquiry which you append to my letter in the Spectator of January 31st, I beg to say that of the ten members of this Society eight are clergymen, one is on the London Stock Exchange, and one is a solicitor. Three were schoolmasters for some years. But I do not think you can safely generalise from these facts. In our time the proportion of men intending to take Holy Orders was probably higher at Corpus than at any other College at Cambridge except Selwyn, and certainly a great deal higher than in the University as a whole.—I am, Sir, &c.,

THE PRESIDENT (1902-3) OF "THE ICALEIDOSCOPIOL"
