Scope and content
Discusses the proofs of Glover's article for the Eagle. Notes what Glover has said about returning to Cambridge. Reports that Peter Mason is ill. Details the circumstances of Kanthack's death. Mentions that the University has created a Chair of Ancient History, which, gossip had it, was created for Heitland, but he is not a candidate. Remarks that it is a shame because Heitland would do a better job of that than 'defacing the College buildings and grounds'.
