Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—Exactly 102 names are in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos list this year (including three Ægrotant honours). The signification of this is not quite apparent, but lower in the list will be found two whose degree is allowed, but who are not to count it as an honour's degree. These men did well enough in the part of the examination they took to deserve a “poll,” and not an honour's degree. Trinity has passed more than a score, St. John's 14, several colleges eight; hut Jesus, Sidney, and Magdalene, as usual, have few mathematicians. Christ's has picked up well, having no fewer than ten in mathematical honours; Trinity Hall gets in only two, and Downing has one representative.
