...gets further east, in which case the members might get progressively stricter. This could, of course also be avoided by not classifying the students geographically at all.

Somewhere along the line I paid my tutor a visit, and found him incredibly depressed. His politics. I had long realized, were not mine-but he was a good guy and he was together and damn smart.

ABOUT 600 undergraduates visit psychiatrists at the health services each year. Many of these are given psychological tests, but the tests are not always effective in pointing out which students are most in need of help.

The Durrell mythology is broadened to include the story of how a foul-mouthed old sea captain proposed to Durrell's mother. One learns of "Gerry's" visit to Corfu's countess, a dotty and rotund old party who forced him to share a six-course lunch climaxed by a whole wild boar. There are inevitable references to the boat-scuttling yachtsmanship of Eldest Brother Larry (now better known as the author of The Alexandria Quartet...
