SIR LUMLEY DODSWORTH ESSAY PRIZE THE ARTIST AS CREATOR
For the purposes of discussion, some definitions are essential. Therefore, let art be considered to fall into three groups, visual art, literature and music. Since it is impossible to consider the whole of these three subjects in toto, one must consider what makes a piece of work a work of art. In both music and static art, the devotees of a particular genre will consider it to be "art." Thus, though one person may find Jackson Pollock's work quite valueless, those who see the physical act of painting as important will find value in such abstract expressionism. Similarly in music, even Mahler has his devotees. In literature however, no one, however intelligent, would think of calling the detective thriller, the women's romance or contemporary pornography art. A limit must therefore be set—and for convenience's sake, let it be that everything accepted as "literature" is art.
There have been times in the past, however, when art was only that which was undertaken purely for the sake of art. In those days the artist —and this applies most strongly to writers—had an overwhelming obsession wih his role as artist. The result is often a highly polished surface, frequently concealing a somewhat hollow subject matter. A recent example of this is Ezra Pound, who, after a number of years of almost cult popularity, has at last been seen to have written—I think, particularly, of the "Cantos"—something with a highly sophisticated, not to say obscure, surface and sadly little content.
Stephen Dedalus, created in 1906, and delivered in 1916, though born with Joyce in 1882, lived in a period when "art" was a term fraught with contemporary implications—one thinks particularly of Oscar Wilde's attitudes. One might expect from him, therefore, a somewhat limited definition—even limiting. This statement he made may be treated as such a limited definition, i.e., to constitute art, a piece of work must be impregnated with some quintessential spirit of the author, but left free from his more conscious personality.
The prepositions and adjectives Dedalus uses are distinctly those of one tarred with the brush of artistic one-up-manship, for though they sound profound, sonorous, even anagogic as though uttered by the Creator himself, they are, in literal terms, little more than meaningless. For one thing, physical prepositions convey nothing when one is dealing with something as spiritual as art. "Behind" any work of art there is always the creative mind. "Above" is indefensible, since no artist exceeds his art in excellence; in fact, frequently the opposite is true, and the masterpiece is something far greater than the artist's original conception. 58
Thus, the "Odyssey" and "Iliad" far transcend the gleemen who composed and recited them. "Beyond" is a term which may be understood either as "behind" or "above," both of which are used in their own right. "Beyond" is therefore—in literal terms—quite superfluous. "Within," however, is more complex as an idea. An artist is always within his work, inasmuch as his style and his thought are inescapable.
This is true of all branches of art. The style of any great painter or musician or writer is unmistakable, and, though more elusive, it can be seen in even classical sculpture. To whatever degree an artist is "within" his work, he is far from "invisible," unless the perceiver is extremely dull.
In considering the artist in literature, one cannot but see that the degree of withinness is very flexible. Some writers bring their own per- , sonality into their art. This may be a presence prevailing through all I his works or in only a percentage. But nonetheless, when reading Catullus or T. S. Eliot or Garcia Lorca, one is always conscious. He may be desperately revealing himself to his reader as Propertius in his early elegies, or Fr. Rolfe, in the novel "Hadrian VII." He may analyse himself as Keats does in "To a Nightingale" or Wordsworth in such great works as "Intimations of Immortality," "Tintern Abbey" and "The Prelude."
Alternatively, he may simply project his own mind, without feeling or comment, as Joyce does so often in "Portrait of the Artist" or "Ulysses"
Clearly, these are not all parallel examples. After reading their works, in the case of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce one knows the mind. In the case of Catullus, Propertius or Rolfe, one knows the man, while Wordsworth and Keats transmit something peculiar to a Romantic period, their "reflections." Lorca transmits something less tangible, but no less visible —his vision.
While these writers totally impregnate their work with their personality, a very different but equally strong method of entry "within" a work is by comment, directly as the author, to explain a personal observation or opinion. George Eliot does this in a delightful and endearing way, so that the reader enters into a kind of communion, or at any rate, transference of opinion, with the author, at a point some distance removed from the novel itself. Other writers of less penetrating insight who do this frequently seem to violate the ethics of their trade, or alternatively to work and see at a lower level. In this group, let us put the eighteenth century novelists, Smollett and Fielding. The latter goes so far as to simply step aside from the novel for a conversation with the reader at the opening of each section. Thackeray and Scott likewise observe this reserved detachment—and Scott actually works at so remote a level and is so little concerned to convince his reader in the immediacy of the novel that he can, quite successfully, stand back and describe how times have altered a house as in "Waverley." The women novelists,
Austen, Gaskell, Charlotte and Anne Bronte, have a similar practice, making social comment. Jane Austen's comments on fashion, for instance, and Mrs. Gaskell's comments on how to eat peas or how much a woman in such-and-such a position ought properly to spend on a robe, tend to bring the reader into the world of the novel—at any rate, the contemporary reader, to whom these things were daily conversation. For the modern reader, they help to carry him back into that remote contemporary world. Perhaps Trollope is to be included with these women novelists; he so often intrudes his comments, and although he does not state it, he clearly feels Mrs. Proudie to be an interfering and scheming harridan.
It is possible for a writer to achieve communion with his reader at a higher level than this, so that it is the spirit carried with the personality, and not merely the fripperer; while retaining moderation, and avoiding the excesses of those writers first considered. Among those' who do this—and here, though at the risk of becoming stultifying, another list seems called for—one finds Chaucer, Hardy, Ovid, Horace, Aristophanes, Milton, Malory, Dickens. In the case of these writers, one achieves a spiritual understanding at some remove from the book. In Chaucer's case it is the way he implies comments—in a masterful way— on his tellers which does it. With Hardy, it is an understanding of his heartfelt ideas as they emerge through the novels, which, although not really convincing, do on the whole exist without the writer's direct intention— certainly this can be said for the major novels with the exceptions of "Jude the Obscure" and "The Woodlanders". Ovid and Horace, and to lesser extent Aristophanes, achieve their effect by means of the poetic "persona"—thus, though it seems to be the writer speaking directly to the reader, a closer inspection reveals that each attitude is an assumed role; and as one delves deeper into their poetry, one begins to appreciate how convolved poet and "persona" are.
Though all these writers in one way or another fulfil Dedalus's precepts of "within, behind, beyond or above", none are in any way "invisible, refined, out of existence". Some writers are—and here the list is shorter: Virginia Woolf, whose perfect control of style and total understanding of man is so clearly visible in "To the Lighthouse" or The Waves", yet who only enters her works in an incorporeal, ethereal way— in many ways like Mrs. Ramsay's intuitiveness enters "To the Lighthouse." Also among these is Virgil, the giant of heroic verse, and Shakespeare, whose total vision and impeccable feel for word and character, and whose understanding of drama make him perhaps the greatest figure in English literature, if one may be permitted to say such things. The Greek tragedians and Emily Bronte, too, -must be seen as ethereal artists, and last, but not least by any means, D. H. Lawrence, whose intuition for character and feeling, clear intellectual mind and pellucid style deserve the highest praise, when subjectivity is allowed to creep into criticism.
Overall, one must hesitate before saying that these "invisible" writers are any greater than those more visible authors. One group qualifies under the second terms, and the other under the first of Dedalus's statement. All must be seen as artists and as skilful craftsmen. Is it fair to say, then, that it is a matter of complete indifference whether the artist adopts a personal role or an empirical one in his works—beyond such matters as style? or might one make tentative generalisations—that poetry is largely the projection of the artist's personality; that drama is the projection of created character and demands impersonality from the artist; and that the novel affords full scope, at the writer's discretion. g There are too many exceptions for such generalisations to be in any way ; verified, but an intuitive assessment will perhaps acquiesce in them.
For other fields of art, however, the question is less complex, because—deprived of words—the artist cannot make his opinions so evident, and can only use a more spiritual form of communication. Thus, while artists who wish to communicate through their art can only exist in an invisible refined way, their presence can be unmistakable. For instance, who does not see Turner the man in his poems of colour? Unquestionably every great painter presents himself in his touch, with
the brush, and in his choice of colour tone. Cezanne's gentleness, Seurat's intellectual approach and Picasso's vigour are all quite palpable in the still lives, the "Young Woman Powdering Herself" or "Guernica". In all
El Greco's work, one sees his sense of pain and joy mixed, death and life after death.
Other painters choose to deliver themselves more openly, like
Rembrandt in his self-portraits, while a few achieve complete anonymity in such sacred art as Chartres, where it is the corporate aspiration, the sense of awe at God's majesty which impelled the builder.
In terms of form, St. Peter's Basilica is no less perfect, but in St.
Peter's one sees the architects, Michelangelo, Bernini, Brunelleschi, and not that sense of "mystic sweet communion" which fills the greatest cathedrals of the early Middle Ages. To distinguish between the two, one must rely on intuition, on sensing the sublimity of Chartres, and the grandeur of St. Peter's. One is the work of God, the other one of 4 Man's finest achievements.
Now, in sculpture, too, it is possible to see the artist. The size and perfection of Michelangelo's figures indicate his sense of grandeur I and innate love of human beauty and form. The "David" could be the perfect human body, while the "Pieta" sums up all the beauty of Christ's pain in the perfection of its form. Donatello, in his chubby cherubs. his smooth Antinous-type youths, above all in his suggestive "David", betrays his homosexual tendencies. But what do we see in the "Venus de Milo"?—Something divine, something which transcends the humanity of Michelangelo and the vigour of Rodin.
Music, too, holds enormous variety—and every artist betrays himself in an invisible, refined manner. Bach is the intellectual, Handel the
Augustan, Mozart the volatile "sensibility" which varies between frivolity and oppressive gloom, Grieg the sentimentalist, Beethoven the spirit of
Romanticism. The musician can only communicate himself in an invisible way.
What is one left with? Artists vary between a complete and utter revealing of their own personality and a complete and utter anonymity, in which there is not even an "out of existence" awareness of the artist.
It is impossible to give a qualitative assessment, since all art depends on taste, and much of it on fashion. What one finds is an enormous variety—a variety to match that of creation. One recalls the analogy with the "God of Creation", and one reconsiders the validity of Dedalus's apparent set of contradictions and meaninglessness. All have some i validity. They rarely are all applicable to a single case. Thus one finds ' that a hollow meaningless sentence holds true—simply because of its meaningless ambiguities and contradictions. It is omnicompetent, to coincide with the omnicompetence of the artist and the vastness of the range of art. R.S.
IVth FORM ESSAY ON THE BRINK
It was warm and sunny. To my right was a field of corn, nearly ripe, but not yet the golden ears described in the poetry books. Ahead lay he road—what little of it there ever had been—and beyond that, a 61
short stretch of green and then the sea. There wasn't really any horizon;
it was impossible to decide where sea met sky, and the haze above the
ground seemed to silence everything. I walked on.
Presently the road turned right and ran along the end of the field of corn, and parallel to the cliff-edge. Now I understood the two very dilapidated signs at the road end, which had said: "Unsuitable for Motors.
No Through Road".
Separating the asphalt of the road from a few tufts of grass and very little else was a worm-eaten, weathered wooden fence. I looked over and instinctively backed away. On the far side of the fence lay nothing at all for about seven hundred feet. At the base of a sheer cliff, dark green water lapped against blocks of rock, worn smooth by the ceaseless surfing of the North Sea. I walked a little further on. In one place the black asphalt of the road had broken off and slipped over the edge. The result was a bite out of the road about a foot in diameter, and the post that supported the fence was swaying in the wind. I crossed to a firmer 10
section of fence and looked over.
The tide must have been nearly full, and the water was unbroken until it touched the base of the cliff. From where I stood I could not hear any sound—the water just approached the cliff, tried to climb the sheer rock and fell back into white foam below. I leant further over the fence. As I looked, suddenly I felt a great awareness of nature. Now I could hear a skylark that I had not heard before. I tried to look at the sky, but it hurt my eyes, and anyway I felt as if I wanted to watch the water. It was relaxing: you had to relax, and I put more weight on the fence. The air is clear and the height seems greater. I seem to be watching myself from outside my body. One of the seabirds below launches itself off the face of the rock with a push of its feet. I can fly like that—all I need to do is push with my feet and I can glide. I know what it will feel like—I will be free, all the way to the bottom. I can see myself spread my feet ready for the push. Only something is wrong; something tells me I mustn't. It will be so simple—just push and then glide down to become part of that dark green restless water. More
weight on the fence.
The seabird flies back. I watch it; the feathers' move in the wind, but the wings are held rigid. He rises on the upcurrent and then glides in over the land. The grass merges with the silver of the cornfield and
the spell of the semi-consciousness is broken.
Half my body is leaning over nothing and I retreat suddenly to the
other side of the road.
No one is in sight. Nobody would have known. The thought of what could have happened scares me, but just then it all seemed so clear. walk on down the hill to the village keeping well away from the cliff edge. It must have been the water, or the silence or just perhaps some
form of primitive instinct.
IIIrd FORM ESSAY STILLNESS
It was a morning in the middle of July. The sun was rising in the I east like a ball of orange flame. The first few shafts of sunlight \■ er; stretching across the sky, making the trees, damp with morning dew. lool,
ish l er and greener than ever. The grass was wet with the dew and the n sparkled on the blades of grass as if diamonds had been growing om the grass. A few yards through the wood was a pool, about the size of a cricket pitch. The edge of the pool was lined with willow trees, their branches overhanging the lake, forming a tunnel round the edge of the lake.
Behind the willows grew oaks, strong, sturdy and powerful compared to the willows, or any tree in the wood for that matter. Growing at the side of the lake, in the water, were all variety of water plants. Marshmarigolds shining brightly in the early-morning sun, and the brilliant green mosses, greener than the grass. There was not a breath of wind; stillness.
Absolute stillness, no! not quite. In the tall reeds at the side of the pond. a dragon-fly was darting about, all but imperceptibly flicking its wings. The "blue needle", I thought was a better name for it. In the water below a water-boatman swam about, leaving a trail of v-shaped ripples, which betrayed it to the dragon-fly.
The sun was high in the sky and the temperature rising all the time.
The grass was drying out and the pleasant aroma of drying grass reached my nostrils,' a pleasant, sweet smell. The smell of sap also reached me, where some bark had been peeled off a willow. Stillness.
It was afternoon, and the shadows started to lengthen, but it was still hot. At the far end of the pool a path lead off through the cool willows and oaks. It was a shady path; bees and wasps buzzed in the flowers growing wild by the path. The cone-shaped flowers of the fox-gloves were taken up with bees, sucking the nectar out. The smaller flowers of the speedwell and buttercup squatted at my feet, almost in admiration of the fox-gloves it seemed. There was not a breath of wind, nothing moved, nothing swayed, nothing, absolutely nothing.
The path wound up through the woods; rays of sunlight pierced the dense foliage and gathered in little pools of light on the ground. The path emerged from the wood on top of a hill, covered in the deep purple of heather, and the long, long shadows of the trees. The sun was not far from the horizon; but still, even up on the hill-top everything was still, not a breath of wind even brushed my face. The sun disappeared in a glowing mass of orange below the horizon; the shadows melted away into nothing, and I was suddenly standing alone, lost on the hill- top in a still, still world.

TWO POEMS SELECTED BY THE B.B.C.
AND BROADCAST DURING THE SUMMER TERM THE MAYFLY
Someone told me a sad affair, The Mayfly only lives one day. No time to have a shave, No time to eat its Kellogg's Corn Flakes, No time to go to school,
No time to go to work, No time to see a film (Starring Dustin Hoffman as John), No time to say "hello" (he'll be gone again before you know it), No time to see the World at his wing-tips, No time to see his Mother—the saddest thing. She died before he was born. No time to sing my songs, or Dylan's, Or Cohen's, or Guthrie's. No time to be happy, No time to be sad, No time to see hatred, No time to see happiness. No time to create an ideal (For what good does it do men, let alone him?) No time to see evolution—only Darwin Saw that—and yet, how could he? No time to go to war—he is lucky. No time to worry (Man, we've got exams in a month) .. . . . . . . Only got time to be born, to stretch his paper wings, and before he has Time To think, he goes to find a mate— Waits— (For her to lay those round tiny eggs) . . . . and dies . . . . Is it sad? Does he want more time? Does he see himself grow old Each second of the day? Oh no my friend, He has all the time in the World .

THIS HAMMER OF MINE
This hammer I grip in my hand has been a family heirloom. Between the "U" of my finger and thumb I have held this Falling upon, rising again, falling upon my old anvil. To mould from the red, the strong.
The sparks fly and the flame dances upon the coals; The heat beats against my face, but no hurt results; I am used to the fire, to the heat, to the sparks. I grip the metal and pull out the red and glowing shaft. 64
My hammer falls and is lifted, falls and is lifted. The clang rings through my ears and the bars on the wall rattle. The clang rings and my mind longs to hear the next. My hammer falls and the red shapes under it. I hit and hit; the body of the metal yields; The metal flattens and is smooth, the glowing dims. I begin to lose my power and my grip over the glowing. I have finished and I stab the dim red into the trough. A cloud of steam rises and from the old dust covered tools A drop of water falls spiralling and flashing to the ground Where it shatters into millions of droplets That form into a soft crater of gravel. From the black and murky water I retrieve my piece of metal and view it. I take pride in this smouldering grey shape; I take pride in the greyish black.

APPRECIATIONS
DR. MARCUS CLEGG,
B.A. (Cantab.), M.B., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. From T. 1. Lewis, O.B.E., (O.P.).
With the death of Marcus Clegg on April 24th (as announced in the May issue of The Peterite) after a long and painful illness endured with characteristic courage, the School has lost one of its loyalist Old Boys Marcus was in the School from 1897-1907 and then entered Jesus College, Cambridge of which together with his school he remained grateful and devotedly proud throughout his life.
Shortly after qualifying in Medicine, like most of his age, he was soon on active service in France administering to the suffering of his fellows during which he himself was wounded. At the end of hostilities he entered general practice as a Physician in Scarborough where he remained until retirement some 8 years ago; he became a well liked personality both professionally and socially as a result of which he enjoyed a wide circle of friends. Despite, however, his busy life in many different spheres in Scarborough, there was nothing he enjoyed more than visiting, whenever time permitted, the School to watch the cricket and 67
rugger matches, he himself, in his day having been a player in both the XI and the XV.
Always a staunch supporter of the Old Peterite Club, he was one of the instigators in its reorganisation in 1955 and in 1958 became its President for 3 years. He, at once, energetically organised an appeal to Old Peterites for subscriptions to enable the Big Hall to be extended as a memorial to all those Old Peterites who fell in the two World Wars. As a result the total cost of £13,800 was subscribed solely by Old Peterites and at Commemoration 1960 Marcus was very proud on behalf of the Club to hand over to the Chairman of the Board of Governors the new Memorial Hall.
Not only during his successful term as President of the O.P. Club but until ill health prevented him he regularly attended O.P. activities and never missed the London O.P. Dinner, in company with his old School mate W. H. Colley who predeceased Marcus by a few months.
For a short while Marcus was the O.P. representative on the Board of Governors. Well known in masonry throughout the East Riding the achievements of the O.P. Lodge of which he was a past Master gave him particular pleasure. Indeed, to the end, news of any activity connected with the School was of the greatest interest to Marcus.
Many of us are the richer for having felt the warmth of his friendship and in him to have witnessed the best characteristics of a gentle York sh reman
RICHARD HOOD METCALFE, 1111
M.A., M.D., M.CH1R. (CANTAB), F.R.C.S. (ENG), F.B.O.A., F.R.S.M.,
(1899-1972)
From H. F. S. Gedge, (O.P.).
First born son of Dr. Metcalfe, 2 St. Leonards, York.• St. Olave's Prep. School 1907-1913. St. Peters, School House 1913-17. O.T.C., Cox, House and School Boat.
He completed a course at R.M.A. Woolwich and returned for intensive study in maths under Mr. Woodcock before going to Trinity College, Cambridge for 4 years obtaining his M.A. and M.D. He coxed 1st and 3rd Trinity eight and could have done so for the university boat but studies prevented this.
His medical training was undertaken at St. Thomas's Hospital, London. After qualification in Surgery he was appointed in charge of the Accident Department of the General Hospital, Birmingham and consultant at Kidderminster.
In 1940 he joined the R.A.M.C., being posted to the York Orthopaedic Unit with rank of Colonel. Later he was transferred to Whitehall as Brigadier temporarily and returned to York.
After cessation of hostilities in Europe he was appointed Consulting Orthopaedic Surgeon at St. James's Hospital, Balham, and consultant at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children, Carshalton, Surrey. Whilst there he took over as Secretary of the O.P. London Area, from J. B. Gedge (1909-1919). He carried out his duties thoroughly, with enthusiasm and devotion. Attendance at Commemoration was regular. 68
IIIHis wife died in 1965 without issue and he married Kathleen Metcalfe, widow of his younger brother Clifford later that year, coming to live in Lymington in 1968.
He died on 2nd August, following a major surgery operation. His only sister, Amy lives nearby at Brockenhurst.
A wreath of O.P. Colours was sent from the President and Members f the 0.P. Club for the service at St. John's, Boldre, prior to cremation.
Mr. Tom Lewis, Governor and past President of the O.P. Club, now ing at Sway, has asked me to •write these notes, which I gladly do as r first years in York were very close, playing together in the Abbey dens before starting at St. Olave's, (then in Bootham, opposite otham School), before transfer to the house on the site of Clifton
go Hall.
His family home was always open to young folk. Close touch was ade again after I had been working in Leeds, Manchester, Spain and India with Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth, when I visited Birmingham in 1939 /40 on service with Ministry of Munitions.
He was indeed one of the most loyal of Old Boys, devoted to the ool and all its affairs.

Once again we were struggling to raise a side this year and conse- quently suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of our younger, and dare I say it, fitter opponents.
I am sure that there is no lack of Old Peterites willing, even eager, to play in this, probably Britain's foremost match now that most of us have withdrawn from Wimbledon. I am, therefore, asking all those interested in performing next year to write to me now so that I can compile a list of probables. Whether you left 30 years ago or have just left this term, you could be one of the chosen few!

OXFORD LETTER
Oxford, Trinity term 1972.
The Trinity Term at Oxford is traditionally one of leisured pursuits allowing a pleasantly relaxed appreciation of University life. Nevertheless, the Oxford Old Peterites have followed their many and varied interests with active enthusiasm. Similarly also the University has bestirred itself to action and has cheered us all by finally agreeing to admit women as undergraduates in five of the men's colleges. Alas the changes do not take place until 1974 and few of the Old Peterites here at present will remain to see this enlightened plan become a reality.
An inevitable feature of the Trinity term is of course, examinations. J. Nutter is to be congratulated on getting 2nd class honours in Mathematics. I. M. Macleod sat his Certificate of Education and by the time this letter is published should be teaching at Aylesbury Grammar School. In addition J. Harrison and S. Foster took first year examinations in Geology and Physics respectively. We trust they were both successful.
The political climate has been unusually hot for a summer term in Oxford. The financial position of the Union has been getting steadily worse and to add to the current misfortunes the Standing Committee has been fraught with petty rivalries. The culmination of this came in the Union Election tribunal at the end of term in which the editors of an unofficial Union newsletter were punished for electoral malpractice. Rodney Lund was among the culprits and was suspended from Union membership for a year. However, it is possible this harsh decision may be commuted and as compensation he still remains Treasurer of the University Labour Club.
Political misfortune of another kind came to John Williams. As Political Action Officer of the University Conservative Association he was responsible for student voting, and in the local elections in May saw the Conservatives lose control of the City Council for the first time for many years. Needless to say he was unsuccessful in his end of term elections.
J. D. Harrison has had an active term despite having 'to work for examinations. He has flown several times with the University Air Squadron and in addition has rowed very successfully for St. Peter's fourth Eight. During Eights Week they managed to achieve seven "bumps" which is a considerable achievement in four days rowing.
D. F. Harding has also been pursuing his sporting interests. He has been shooting regularly for the University 1st VIII and is also captain of the O.T.C. Service Rifle team. He informs us that he is still recovering from illnesses and wounds sustained on an exercise with T.A.V.R. in the New Year.
S. Foster can be seen regularly attending the Christian Union meetings. He has also developed an interest in rowing and spent Eights week running up and down the towpath photographing oarsmen catching "crabs" and coxes being thrown in the water. Another Old Peterite often at C. U. meetings is M. J. Black who insists modestly that he is playing in the "worst orchestra in Oxford." T. M. Day has 'had a busy
term musically. He has given organ recitals in Balliol (reminiscences of our P.M.?) and has conducted the Isis singers.
Unfortunately we could not elicit much information from A. Scaife and J. Fender, so their great deeds go unrecorded, the latter pointing out that since he was not a "power-hungry politician" he had done nothing of note.
Finally a word about N. J. Williams who is leading a very hectic life at the Polytechnic. He has been taking an active interest in Union affairs and has, in addition, formed an Ecology Society. He has also become a football fanatic, 'both on the field and on the terraces.
We hope past and present Peterites have found our letter interesting if not stimulating and that we do not discourage any current Peterites from joining us among the "dreaming spires." THE OXFORD OLD PETERITES
