NOTE It would be of great serv!ce to the College if members of the Club would kindly inform the College Office of any changes of their permanent addresses. The College would welcome any corrections of this record, and any material for next year, especially from abroad. These should be addressed to THE PRAELECTOR, QUEENS' COLLEGE. The Praelector gratefully acknowledges the receipt of a number of i~ms of news from members during the past year. The dates given after the names of members of the College refer to their B.A. degrees, except that dates preceded by "M." are dates of Matriculation. It is realized that this Record is far from complete. The acting" Praelector will be glad to print such omissions as members of the Club can point out later. .
