"One farmer told me: 'I went whistling and smiling to pay my rent, knowing that it wasn't going into the pocket of a laird.'" Last year Assynt's residents followed suit. The place had been stagnating, partly because the Vesteys had an agreement with Britain's Inland Revenue to keep the land in its natural state in exchange for inheritance-tax relief.

Predicating funding on this point is reasonable because the stated mission of HoCos is to unite House residents. Requiring students to pay out of pocket in order to join in regular House festivities such as happy hours is an unnecessarily divisive practice. Moreover, it is unreasonable for Houses to charge students for access to money that is theirs to begin with through termbill payments. Naturally, ticket costs for formals and special bashes should not be regarded...
