Of those ail Lose amines recently appeared in the
mathematical tripos, six wranglers, including the
senior, had pr.,' viously obtained first-class honours
in the local exam. illations of the University ; three
senior optimes ma two junior optiines likewise 113 d
passed in the local examinations. It cannot, °f_
course, be assumed ...that these would not have con?:
to the University if . they had not succeeded ju
local examination; bt, it is probable that some °'
them may have be en is ifluenced by their first suee°3B
to try for further yclistj. action at the University.
