ing," until 2/lt. Stockbridge emerged and took his place with Royal Signal's in Austria. By this time Hugh had entered Magdalene College, Cam- bridge and was reading English. Later he switched to psychology (experi- mental) and took o first division second class honour degree in this subject. He is now at Farnborough working for the Ministry of Supply.
For myself after spending a very enjoyable time in Graz, Austria building an amateur radio station MB9AD & BN on which I spoke with many people in America including my old roommate at Chicago, but never once anyone nearer to V.E.S. than Charlottesville-1 came out of the army and tried to enter Magdalene to read Science. But first I had to study for a year and take an English examination before they were satis- fied with my qualifications. To give you some idea of the requirements- an English boy of eighteen usually is able to I) read Cicero's Orations in Latin fluently 2) to manipulate Car- tesian geometry, to differentiate and intergrate simple fractions be the Cal- endus, 3) to have a sound basis in
chemistry and have done a year's work in organic chemistry or to have reoched a similor standard in physics
ond be able to handle differential equations, and as for the scholarship student in math, well he's just about required to be writing original work when he enters at eighteen, and many of them do.
So naturally I found myself a bit behind and had to make it up. How- ever this done I am happy to say the University awarded me a first class honours degree in the natural science tripes part II three years later. This was at Magdalene College and I spent many pleasant hours in Trinity (Mr. Gannaway's old college). After this success we crowned it with an- other when Jacqueline Stefanovitch from Paris and I were married in one of the oldest churches in the country - t h e round Norman Church about 1150 A.D. here in the entre of Cam- bridge. I am now engoged in metal-
lurgical research for the University and a possible Ph.D. After that my wife and I hope to settle in Canada where the prospects are so good in the mining and metals worlds.
It often seems a great pity to me that no one comes from V.E.S. to a foreign university where they can combine a magnificent education with

Now back to point two, my wife is off to Paris, to stay with her parents for a month, so should any old V.E.S. personnel happen to be near i30 Bd. Murat Paris 16e, they might intro- duce themselves, or alternatively should anyone be near Cambridge I personally would be very pleased to entertain and welcome him to my home.
