"In the year 1821," says Parke, in his Musical Memoirs, "I occasionally dined with a pupil of mine, Mr. Knight, who had lately left college. This young man (who played the most difficult pieces on the flute admirably) and his brother Cantabs, when they met, were very fond of relating the wild tricks for which the students of the University of Cambridge are celebrated. The following relation of one will convey some idea," he says, "of their general eccentricity:--A farmer, who resided at a considerable distance from Cambridge, but who had, nevertheless, heard of the excesses committed by the students, having particular business in the before-mentioned seat of the Muses, together with a strong aversion to entering it, took his seat on the roof of the coach, and, being engrossed with an idea of danger, said to the coachman, who was a man of few words, 'I'ze been towld that the young gentlemen at Cambridge be wild chaps.' 'You'll see,' replied the coachman; 'and,' added the farmer, 'that it be hardly safe to be among 'em.' 'You'll see,' again replied the coachman. During the journey the farmer put several other interrogatories to the coachman, which was answered, as before, with 'You'll see!' When they had arrived in the High Street of Cambridge, Mr. Knight had a party of young men at his lodgings, who were sitting in the first floor, with the windows all open, and a large China bowl full of punch before them, which they had just broached. The noise made by their singing and laughing, attracting the notice and exciting the fears of the farmer, he again, addressing his taciturn friend, the coachman, (whilst passing close under the window,) said with great anxiety, 'Are we all safe, think ye?' when, before the master of the whip had time to utter his favourite monosyllables, 'You'll see,' bang came down, on the top of the coach, bowl, punch, glasses, &c. to the amazement and terror of the farmer, who was steeped in his own favourite potation. 'There,' said coachee (who had escaped a wetting,) 'I said as how you'd see!'" * * * * * I NOW LEAVE YOU TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS YOU PLEASE.
