CAMBRIDGE MEN ACTIVE IN WAR

The effect of the war on English universities is strikingly illustrated by a set of figures given in the Cambridge Review, relating to Cambridge University. This article states that only 665 students are at present enrolled in the university, as compared with 1,227 at this time last year, and a normal enrollment of about 3,000. The article states further that 1,723 Cambridge men had been put out of action up to January 18. Of these 697 had been killed, 892 wounded, and 134 missing. Among these were many of the most famous of the Cambridge athletes. The total number of Cambridge men who had been decorated, or mentioned in despatches, totalled 714, of whom three had been awarded the Victoria Cross, 52 the D.S.O.'s, 103 had received Military Crosses, and 18 French, Russian and Serbian decorations.

The graduate students at Cambridge have organized an M.A.'s platoon, and have been drilling and taking part in bridge guarding.
