...Council would seem to misinterpret the fundamental difference between House and Varsity Athletics. 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.

By "taste" I do not mean the knowledge of what it is permitted for a gentleman...
...orthodox, artistic at all. How much simpler to build stone walls that make teaching easier though they make learning more difficult. Thus one avoids the charge of being an academic jack-of-all-trades, and remains the specialist behaving as though his field of knowledge existed for its own sake...
