...decrease in the undergraduate membership has necessitated the strictest economy. No entertainments have been given that entailed expense and the open fires and afternoon tea were only made possible by the gift of graduates. Although the working force has been reduced, few complaints about the service have been made...
...science falls back on the great theory of the metamorphosis of motion. The vibrations which produce the senses, says materialism, set the brain into motion, which in turn arouses consciousness and through it the nerves and the body are set in motion.

Consciousness is not aroused by brain action, it is not a link in the chain of physical sensations...

That four candidates for one team, in the strictest training, would have so far betrayed the trust put in them by their class and by the University as to break training openly and repeatedly is almost beyond belief. The offence is unpardonable, and the offenders have been justly punished...
