Reports that he has been in Cambridge for a few days, but has not yet begun to work. Arthur is 'quite satisfied' with his degree, but many are disappointed. Enjoyed his visit to Oxford and declares that William's rooms are 'magnificent'. Conington introduced him 'to one of the "stars" of Oxford - Professor Henry Smith', who is 'a wonderful converser'. Saw Mr Martin that morning, who was looking very ill, and '[George or John?] Paget gives a bad account of him.'

Glad to hear about Katie Lace [his cousin, engaged to be married to the Rev. J. D. Wawn]. Remarks that the clergy of the Church of England 'generally perform their duty to Society in the way of matrimony if in no other way.' Announces that he begins lecturing the following day, and that there are 'piles of portmanteaus at the Porter's lodge just now.' Says that he has been reading 'A Woman's Thoughts about Women [by Dinah Mulock]', and that it seems to him 'more practical and vigorous tho' less refined than Miss [Anne] Browns books.' Asks if he left a racquet at Rugby.

Re the death of his father, Sir George Edward Paget

Assemblage of figures in which the faces of various Cambridge personalities are spliced into incongruous scenes. The accompanying printed key explains that, for example Neptune in his chariot has the face of John Couch Adams, since 'The learned Professor was the first to discover the above mentioned planet; the Vice-Chancellor [1874-1876], Samuel Phear, 'did his best to suppress the "wooden spoon"' so his face is superimposed upon one. A scene of three figures balancing on a beam in front of the fountain in Trinity Great Court is labelled 'The Pantomime', and the figures are identified as 'The Author of Supernatural Religion [W. R. Cassels], 'Prof. Lightfoot' and 'Prof, Westcott', with a brief account of the controversy following the anonymous publication of that work in 1874. A tug of war competition is labelled 'Classics v. Mathematics'; a coxed four are labelled 'Ye Antient Mariners'.
