The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1908

Ins and Outs

Ins and Outs.

"Victoria College, famed for Picken, von Zedlitz,
Mackenzie and Hunter, Easterfield, Brown,
Is so "short" 'tis reduced, like a beggar, to peddle its
Tatters and squalor all over the town."

H.C.

The professors now have in the entrance hall of the College a notice board all to themselves, containing their names, and indicators which purport to show whether the professors page 80 are in or out. We understand that it was the fact of the College Council being at its wit's end to know what to do with its surplus cash that led to the provision of this ornamental but useless luxury. Whilst the board was still a novelty, the Professor of Biology affixed to his particular indicator a notice quite in keeping with the board. "Ne nimium crede indicatorem," it read, to the amusement of the countless authorities on Latin grammar to be found amongst the junior Latin class. We have it on good authority that there is supposed to be some connection between the movements of the professors and of the indicators. The exact principle governing the relationship has not been divulged to date.
