...theory, the packing of commuters into a "House" of their own with good facilities will mold them into a group with high esprit which will be terribly anxious to participate in the College's activities. But by no stretch of the imagination will Dudley be a real House, for it is so selected and constructed that parochialism must be its greatest common denominator. The name "House" is merely a device to conceal the fact that there will be a change in privileges but no change in relation to the rest of the College...
Imperturbably, Nehru denied that his 1954 agreement with Red China about Tibet had been violated by Communist aggression, and he delivered a history lecture that seemed to suggest that if the Communists had not broken the mold of Tibetan society, someone else inevitably would have...

Another 150 are expected to pass the tests, but 100 or more are in a medical no-man's land...
