...utter folly of prohibition is not so much that it gives rise to law-breaking of every description, as that it disregards a fundamental trait of man: deny him something and he wants it more than ever. If our fourteen years under this travesty of legislation have done nothing else, they have conclusively proved that man's habits cannot be regulated...
...main grievance against University Hall in this matter is the complete and utter lack of any definitely formulated policy. The unwary student planning a year in a Continental school, who consults with the authorities in the hope of arranging his program abroad to suit them, finds that he is met with nothing but evasion and temporizing.

He managed to break through Perry's serve in the third game and then suddenly the deliberate manner that had seemed to indicate a carefully controlled supply of reserve energy became an expression of utter fatigue. Perry, dancing around the court, barely able to wait for the ball-boys to furnish ammunition for his serve, smashed through four more games for set, match and title-the first an English player has won in the U.
