...year, the past month's business was but little larger than the corresponding month last year, I am informed. The management is careful and capable and the affiliated tradesmen are representative houses. New conveniences may be added and doubtless will be whenever it shall be possible. The directors show judgment and tact in the control of affairs and their success in securing rooms in the old Law School for next year is encouraging for the future of the society.

The only three school periodicals which stand out as exceptionally good - the Microcosm, the Etonian, and the Miscellany - were edited by boys who possessed great firmness of character as well as genius and judgment. Canning, Mackworth, Pread, and Gladstone all knew how to recruit a staff, keep it up to the best standard of work, and prevent its members from falling out. If he had not become a statesman he might have done wonders in conducting a London daily newspaper...
