The University of Cambridge comprises seventeen colleges, each, of course, with its own government, buildings and grounds. The college grounds are much smaller than those of the average American college. The number of students is about the same as in our institutions. Much more attention is paid to the comfort of the students than here, though we at Harvard can congratulate ourselves when we compare our condition with that of the students of smaller American colleges. At Cambridge an undergraduate's apartments consist of three large chambers, with a small pantry. The main room is a fine, airy place in which breakfast and luncheon are served by a private servant. Attached to this room is the little pantry, used for light working and storage. Two other rooms open out of the main apartment; they are about ten by fourteen, one employed as a study and the other as a bed chamber. A recent writer says of life at an English college, that it is intellectually far stronger than that of an American college. The men seem to accomplish more than we do, with less work. The dinner is regarded as the central feature of the daily life, for the whole college usually meets at this time. The hall is a very fine room, much after the style, in building and decoration, of our own Memorial.
