...natural ability, handled his position easily, and became an outstanding player, was, in my experience, an almost sure indication that he would not be a good instruction coach. I saw it tried again and again with the same result. A similar situation has proved more or less true in golf. The teachers of such great players as "Bobby" Jones, Alexa Stirling, and others have not been tournament winners themselves, and I believe I am safe in saying that the outstanding professional golfers can point to few, if any, of their pupils who have also risen to great success.

Students will also be grateful for the efforts he has made to secure a new gymnasium, more squash courts, a swimming pool, and a golf course. All these projects now seem imminent. While giving due recognition to Major Moore's efforts, it will be remembered, however, that these projects have been imminent for several years...

A committee, organized by the Mayor of Biarritz, has raised funds to copy the design for a large memorial to Jemmett...

From Viscount Cecil of Chelwood came a crisp cheque for ?1000, with the suggestion that ?500 be allotted for tennis courts at the disposal of the League Secretariat, and that the rest be used to extend the Geneva Golf Club's course and to assist impecunious undersecretaries to join the club. Viscount Cecil added that the ?1000 represented part of the $25,000 peace prize awarded to him by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation two years...
