...have of weakness, but the systematic skipping is the symptom of a D or an F man. A habit of this kind grows, and when such men get their chance to become officers they will not only know less than their companions in arms, but they will also have bad habits to conquer...
...Lord and Lady Algy" is, as you choose, a bad example of the well-made play, or a good example of the badly-made play. Its characters are masters of misunderstanding, they employ their subtlety in letting the obvious elude them; if they once stopped to think the whole show would be given away, so they never stop to think.

The time allowed for playing was too limited, the playing surface bad and the rink itself inaccessible. All informal games will be on the Charlesbank rink, where the team will practice daily in conjunction with the Freshmen...
