Guests would be lodged in their sons' rooms or the rooms of their sons' friends, have their meals in the hall, enjoy access to the Common Room and the Library, and, in general, live for a short time under the same conditions as the students in the House. We should try to arrange some lectures by members of the staff, visits to places of interest in the University, and informal social gatherings. The best time would seem...
