...disreputable way in which college correspondents of the daily press "work up" for their own advantage and at the expense of truth, sensational reports of college happenings. Such was notoriously the case, to cite example, in regard to the so-called rush between '88 and '89, and recent explosion in College House.

Lines of argument in the discussion of "What is the cause of volcanic action?" and "Are earthquakes the result of a single cause?" would be too easily suggested by the recent College House explosion. "Was the rush of October 8th premeditated?" might possibly admit of some doubt, but no one could hesitate in telling "What are the causes of climatic change?" - at least no one who has ever called upon his highness, the Chancellor of the (college) Exchequer...
