The Eagle is published twice yearly, in January and June, at 75 pence. Further details about subscription and banker's order forms are available from the College Office. All contributions for the next issue should be sent to the Editors, The Eagle, St John's College.
The Editors regret that there is insufficient support to justify the publication of an index to The Eagle (1890-1968) .
The Editors wish it to be known that the contribution entitled Stewing on a Business Bursar, published i n the last number of The Eagle, contains no reference to any person, living or dead, or to any particular location, past, present or future.
There is a vacancy on the Editorial Committee of The Eagle for an undergraduate possessed of enormous energy and the subtlest conceivable sense of humour. The Junior Editor will be pleased to hear from him.
