_Cedunt arma togæ!_ The effect which the cessation of the war produced,
in diverting to quiet academic channels the stream of youth which
hitherto had flowed in the turbid currents of continental strife, is
shown by the large increase of the Library receipts derived from
matriculation fees. These, which previously fell below (and often far
below) £250, rose in 1814, on the first sign of peace, to £424, and in
this year, on its final establishment, to £633.
In January, Mr. John Calcott, of Lincoln College (B.A. 1814, M.A. 1816,
B.D. 1825; Fellow of Linc.; deceased 1864) was appointed _Minister_ in
the room of Mr. Francis Thurland, of New College, resigned. Mr.
Calcott, however, only held the office for one year, being succeeded, in
Feb. 1816, by Mr. Sam. Fenton, of Jesus College (B.A. 1818, M.A., Ch.
Ch. 1821).
