The Rimplegars of Brooklyn (Three-Cornered Moon) still hold the all time record for dulcet insanity. But the Blakeleys, who inhabit a presentable but unspecified sector, amuse at times...
...corrected. House masters must no longer even unconsciously lure Freshmen in under the delusion that they may have the choice of a better and perhaps cheaper room the next year. Students should not be drawn into what is practically a three year contract for rooms they cannot afford to inhabit more than one season. In all fairness the House masters must make the actual situation clear to all applicants for rooms...
