There were more of us when we last embraced you, but if you do not see them coming back, do not wait, nor yet forget them. They saw the light that shined on The Way even if their feet did not feel the pavement. They and we stood by you, Veritas--the map you drew for us had been keenly perceived and boldly executed. Your disciples had bravely threshed unordered knowledge and had given us the grain to staff our life. But you seldom feel the sweat and blasphemy of living, while we anxiously look for earthly applications...
...wait and we hope optimistically that it is all for the best--that now we will get a "genuine" liberal education. But of far more immediate concern is the action already taken on the Report. Men who are nonhonors candidates discover that to them no longer go the privileges of tutorial. Other men in other departments learn that tutorial has been completely dropped.

Present salaries, said the teachers' union, were not "in accordance with the dignity of the profession." Cried Dublin's dignified teachers, we just can't live on the money...
Hard-drinking Haligonians have long beefed about the Government's method of selling liquor and beer. They had to pay 50? for a permit, had to wait in slow-moving queues at one of the four Government retail stores. If they were lucky, they got four quarts a month of Canadian rye or gin, or two of imported liquors. Attached to each bottle was an admonition to take it straight home...
