Abstract
THE communication by Gross and Hudson in Nature of September 20, p. 787, shows an interesting difference between academic records of Fellows of the Royal Society who were respectively at Cambridge and at Oxford. Of those at Cambridge only about 77–78.5 per cent achieved a first, and in fact only about 55 per cent achieved a first in both parts of a tripos. The Fellows of the Royal Society who were at Oxford, on the other hand, graduated with first-class honours in about 97 per cent of cases.
