The May Term now is over; Far from my Cap and Gown. Energetic of the May. For x and y will vanish, When that Bonnet I recall ; And my Verse and Prose imbue. MORAL. These sweet girl graduate beauties, To Square Root and Equations? And when conspicuous my name When "plucked" I seek a vain relief Thou wilt have caused that bitter grief, MENALCAS. OUR CHRONICLE. THE Term that has just past has been most uneventful, calling for but few records in our usual Chronicle, which is thus scarcely more than a list of the results of the sports which occupy so much of every May Term. The College living of Murston (Kent,) is vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Poore, who had held it for fifty years; and that of Great Warley (Essex,) by the death of Dr. Hastings Robinson, who was presented to it in 1827. Our College seems to be in a fair way of recovering the Classical reputation which some years ago appeared to be passing from her. The brilliant successes which we were able to chronicle in our last number have been worthily followed up during the present term. Of the eight chief University prizes open to undergraduates, no fewer than five have been won by Johnians, having been awarded as follows: Chancellor's English Poem-W. Elliker Hart. Sir W. Browne's Medals for Greek Epigram-T. Moss. Porson Prize-J. E. Sandys. Members' Prize for Latin Prose-J. E. Sandys. The First Tyrwhitt Hebrew Scholarship has just been awarded to Mr. James Snowdon, A.I., of this College. The vacancy in the Editorial Committee of The Eagle, caused by the retirement of Mr. C. C. Cotterill, after a contested election, was filled up by the appointment of Mr. W. Elliker Hart. The following prizes have been awarded during the present term: The following donations and subscriptions have been promised to the Stained Glass Window Fund since our last notice: Of the money already received about £575 has now been invested in the Indian five per cents. The officers of the Lady Margaret Boat Club for the present Term have been: President, E. W. Bowling. Treasurer, A. Forbes. First Captain, F. Andrews. Second Captain, W. Bonsey. Third Captain, A. Low. Fourth Captain, J. M. Collard. The following are the crews of the College boats in 3rd Boat. 1 J. W. Bakewell 2 H. T. Norton 3 R. J. Ellis 4 H. H. Cochrane 5 J. W. Horne 7 W.
