...practice has been to maintain a complementary unit in England for every Army unit required overseas. In theory each regiment has a battalion at home and one abroad, the home battalion training men to replace soldiers whose active service has expired.

House Athletics are for those who wish to engage in a sport with a minimum of practice and training. Those who take part in House Athletics play for the game's sake and enjoy it. Varsity Athletics, on the other hand, in any sport, are for those who desire to acquire skill through a great deal of practice, training, and personal effort. That there are these two schools of Athletic thought in the college, cannot be denied. To mix them would be ruinous. Cyrns C. Marden...
