FIRE!

Last evening's exhibition of up-to-the-minute efficiency on the part of Cambridge's heroic hook-and-ladder huskies was a most welcome diversion to such bored and exam-ridden denizens of the University who happened to be within hallooing distance of the Lampoon Building at the time.

What if some vagrant urchin did press the unlucky fire-button which started all the excitement? What if Claverly Hall was not in flames, as some of the scurrying undergraduates fondly and audibly hoped? We have been generously treated to a free and frantic demonstration of the quite exciting efficiency of the fire-fighters and hose-hoisters of Cambridge, who late forbade two successive smokers in the poor old Union. If the impact of final examinations or the discreet and tinder-dry celebration of Class Day should somehow cause spontaneous combustion hereabouts, we know that they will be at hand to add to the fun.
