Annually this unrehearsed enthusiasm channels through the various House Committees and filters out in the widest offerings of House Forums, House refresher courses, amateur theatricals and interest group-projects. Within a recent week, the Common rooms played host to a forum on the contemporary English novel, another on the United Nations, a recital staged by the House music group, and the weekly play-reading session.
