ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE..--TIIC Christmas festivities at St.
John's College have been kept up this year with the usual
splendour and hospitality. St. John's Day ( Monday) wag
net at all behind those of preceding years in sumptuous
entertainment provided for a numerous party of friends.
There were present all the heads of houses now in
Cambridge, the High Sheriff, the Members for the
University, the Honourable Algernon Herbert, Mr. Eaton,
NI. P., Mr. Pryme, M.P., Dr. Havilaud, Dr. Mill, Pro-
fessor Blunt, Mr. C. Pemberton, Mr, Allix, with a large
party amounting to about eighty of the elite of the town,
county, aryl University. As usual the enormous Christmas
pie, for which this College is celebrated, made its appear-
ance at supper in the Combination-room, backed by the
boar's head, chine of pork, and other Christmas fare. The
evening was spent as it is reasonable to suppose it would be
among such good things, and we hear only one opinion of
the excellent arrangements and provision for the occasion.
We may also notice here that St. John's College is pro-
fuse in its liberality to the poor at the season of Christmas,
and that to an extent which, we believe, few of our towns-
men are acquainted with, There is a regular distribution
at the College kitchen, for several weeks, of bread and
soup, made expressly for the purpose, for fifty poor per-
sons resident in the town; and we know, from some of
those who have received this bounty, that it is most excel-
lent in quality, and also abundant in quantity. This,
we
guess, is the right way to keep Christmas, and we should
rejoice to see it more generally imitated.
