Cambridge University: Great Mathematical Tripos: There are exactly a hundred Cantabs engaged this year for the highest mathematical honours, from all parts of the United Kingdom, from Germany, and from the Colonies. Although rumours are afloat as to the probable Senior Wrangler, it would be improper to give publicity thereto, as the final examinations will not terminate until next Friday, and the ward of the Examiners will not be given till a week later. The following is a list of the candidates: List includes Pinsent, St. John’s, Edgbaston, Birmingham.
