That Weir House Makes No Useful Contribution To College Life

Aff.: Mr. Daniell. Neg.: M. Battersby.

Mr. Daniell opened with a reference to the poor country lads who spend their lives in monastic seclusion over the way a wit in the audience making an obscure reference to a certain Mrs. Palmer. Mr. Daniell claimed that the torches over the Weir House doorway burst into flame whenever a virgin passes the portals, but that so far this phenomenon has not occurred.

Mr. Battersby spoke of the beneficial effects of institutional life on the fine young gentlemen of Weir, and instanced their feverish interest in erotic and esoteric verse as a fine contribution to the cultural life of VUC.

The motion was carried.
