In this number of The Vigornian we have to endeavour to record the events of the past two terms, and even some which relate to the misty distance of the Christmas Term. We will ask our readers to be patient and transfer their righteous indignation from us to the protracted epidemic of Scarlet Fever which is responsible for such unseasonable passages as Rugger Notes in Midsummer. This plague completely paralysed all our activities during the latter half of the Easter term, and was nothing if not thoroughly disastrous, though we are glad to say that with a few exceptions the disease was lenient to its victims. In the School it upset nearly all of last term's athletic events. We were unable to hold either the P.T. or the Boxing Competition and all idea of Sports had to be abandoned. Soon after Half-term normal School routine ceased; first School House were isolated; then the Day Boys broke up altogether and Hostel and Natland were isolated. It was a nightmare at morning prayers to see the School assembled—50 people in huddled groups. Nor was there an absence of the element of morbid superstition wrought by the Fate that hung over our heads— lots were feverishly drawn to determine the next victim, and in some cases the oracle was fulfilled. But enough of this melancholy record; let the memory of it fade with the reek of disinfectant that has at last quitted our nostrils. This term we have been practically free from all illness except for another Scarlet Fever scare which died within a week, and the time has been very full, as is usual in the Summer.
