J. S. PETERS President Newman College , Students' Club, 1037.
ege NEWMAN ENIOR students returned to Newman 0 on the night of March 7, to find a College strangely quiet and subdued. Perhaps, recalling sights and sounds of history, they were puzzled. It could not be that there were no students, for the tale had spread that the number of residents for the year would be near the record mark, and most of them would now have returned. Then came full remembrance. No longer from somewhere along the Common Room Wing did "a mad medley of echoes" ring out. The cloisters were abandoned. Silent, dark, and empty was the swimming pool.

This policy was carried out at the beginning of the year, and, in addition, the Initiation Committee saw fit to dispense with the Freshers' Examination and the Freshers' Concert. The general opinion of the Club that the efficiency of initiation was somewhat impaired by such wholesale departures from precedent, expressed itself at a resolution passed at the Third Term General Meeting in September, in favour of the restoration of "first-night initiation." Commencement passed almost unnoticed in the College this year, and the gap which the abolition of the Block Parade and the Gala Night opened up between the Colleges and the rest of the University in regard to
