Obituary : Bishop Hubbard

of everyone, and to that is perhaps due that most impressive memory of the day—the sense of national dedication for the reign to come.

During the holidays demolition, construction, and re-construction have gone on : Queen's has taken over the Temple studies and changing-rooms, and Temple those of School House, where their curtains lend an admirable non-institutional and attractive air to that part of the building. School House in its turn has expanded downwards for its changing-rooms and upwards to the old quarters of the domestic staff for its studies. The domestic staff have removed to St. Peter's Grove, where Miss Kendal, who has been appointed Domestic Bursar, is in charge. The Art Room has been relinquished to St. Olave's and an Art School of two rooms has appeared, housed in a wooden building which is really attractive to the eye. The back of the Science Block is just emerging from the satisfyingly destructive to the obviously constructive stage. Finally, several more class-rooms have been re-decorated and equipped with better lighting.

It is an unenviable position to succeed Mr. Burgess as a producer, and we wish Canon Patteson, who has agreed to undertake this task and the tremendous work it entails, every success. The play chosen is "Macbeth", and the performances will be on 17th, 18th and 19th December.

We welcomed to the Staff last term an Old Peterite, Mr. V. B. Gregory, of Durham University; Mr. Gregory is teaching Science, and we hope he has a happy and long stay with us. Dr. Grayeff has taken over Mr. Burgess' teaching until his return, and to him also we offer our welcome and good wishes.

The lateness of publication of this number of the "Peterite" is among the unavoidable consequences of Mr. Burgess' illness, and we apologise for the delay.

It was with shocked surprise and a sense of personal loss that we received the news of Bishop Hubbard's death on 23rd May while he was on what was very definitely a "working" holiday in Italy. He was known by everyone in the School, boys and masters alike, and in many ways had endeared himself to us and had become in a very real sense a part of the School.

Bishop Hubbard had been, since his arrival in York, a member of the Governing Body of the School, and there was no-one to whom I felt I could more readily turn for help and advice, or from whom I have received greater encouragement. 2
