Some judge the whole of The Vigornian by the Editorial. We suggest that they would argue that the rest of it can be summed up conclusively if they have seen the skill and wit—if any—of the Editor in his note. But this is no work of art expressive of it all—it is a mere introduction, as much as to say " Here's The Vigornian and we hope you enjoy it," and then leave the readers to it. They are not there to be entertained by us but by the accounts we have given them. We have heard people say they never read the preface to a book, but thy like to get on with the story—then why read the editorial? And so to the term in general. This autumn has played its part well in upholding this year's excellent weather. The weather must crop up here somewhere because it makes so much difference to Rugger and to many people's moods according as they like hot or cold, wet or dry, foggy or clear. Last Easter term saw real clear cold wintry weather, with some good skating; the Summer was boiling hot and —in fact real Summer and not the " English " type: and now the Autumn has been excellent. There have been mists and some rain, as must be in autumn, and now the days are shorter, but the weather has chiefly been very fine and the Rugger field has been ideal once the drought broke up and we could use our Rugger boots. Other activities in the School have not been lacking—the Band has been hard at work and it is good to see it is full to overflowing with recruits : the Choir has grown large
