On Saturday, June 11th, a guard of honour, 50 strong, was present in Senate House Square to receive the Chancellor, and was complimented on its smartness and efficiency. Corporal Cordeaux, of the College Company, will shoot for the University at Bisley this year. DEBATING SOCIETY. President-R. E. Baker. Vice-President J. J. Gillespie, Treasurer H. Williamson. Secretary-Peter Green. Committee-J. H, B, Masterman and A. R. B. Yusuf-Ali, The debates this term have been by no means unsuccessful, though the attendance of members has suffered, as usual in the May term, by the proximity of triposes. The average attendance it is true was something over thirty, but this number is unduly increased by the large attendance at one particular debate, that namely at which Mr George R. Parkin, of the Imperial Federation League, supported J. H. B. Masterman's motion on that question. After the quality of the debates, the most important matter for the consideration of the officers and committee is the comfortable housing of the Society. This subject has received a considerable share of the time and attention of the committee, with the result that the reading-room has been given up at a gain to the Society of 5/- a week, and Lecture-room VI adopted in its stead. Coffee and smoking are permitted as before. A detailed list of debates follows: April 30-"That this House approves of a system of State Pensions for old age based on the taxation of privileged classes.' Proposed by Peter Green, opposed by J. H. B, Masterman, Lost by 5 to 7. May 7"That this House approves of the Enfranchisement of Women." Proposed by A. H. Whipple, opposed by O. M. Wihl. Lost by 12 to 17. May 14-"That this House would welcome Imperial Federation." Proposed by J. H. B. Masterman, opposed by Peter Green. Won by 32 to 5. May 21-"That this House would approve the immediate repeal of the Irish Coercion Act." Proposed by H. E. Long, opposed by A. H. Whipple. Lost by the Chairman's casting vote. May 28-"That Cabbages should be cultivated in College Courts." Proposed by H. Williamson, opposed by Peter Green. Won by 5 to 2, MUSICAL SOCIETY. Com Librarian-F. D. President-Dr Sandys, Treasurer-Rev A. J. Stevens, M.A. mittee-F. W. Carnegy, C. M. Rice, E. A. Werner. Sturgess. Hon. Secretary-F. O. Mundahl. Assistant Secretary-H. Harries. Conductor-Dr G. M. Garrett, M.A. A very successful May Concert was given on Tuesday, June 14th, under the able direction of Dr Garrett. As it has been found impossible to write a full account of the Concert in time for press it will be held over until the next number of the Eagle. The Society feels that it cannot allow this opportunity to escape without thanking the Master and Fellows for their kindness in granting the use of the Hall, and especially the Junior Bursar, Mr Heitland, to whom the success which attended the Concert is in a great measure due. The Committee wish to thank all those who so kindly helped in the Chorus, and particularly the gentlemen from other colleges who assisted in the Orchestra. Financially, we are glad to say, the Society has just managed to keep its head above water. We regret we are about to lose Messrs. Carnegy, Rice, and Collison, who, together with Mr Given-Wilson, have been the main-stay of the Society for the last three years. COLLEGE MISSION. The Hon, Secretary has sent no report. THE JOHNIAN Dinner. A very successful gathering was held at the St James's Restaurant on the the evening of the 8th of April. The health of "The Queen" was proposed by the Chairman (Mr R. F. Scott), and in the absence through illness of Mr E. Boulnois, M.P., Mr Lewis Edmunds proposed "The College," which was responded to by Mr R. Horton Smith, Q.C. The health of the Chairman was proposed by Mr L. H. K. Bushe-Fox, and duly responded to.
