Psychopathies?

Sir,—I would like to suggest to the Department of Psychology that interesting material for research into undeveloped personalities is available within, and on, the walls of Victoria. Ink and Primer 4 printing were used by self-styled artists to scribble across posters already colourfully and competently done by an outside commercial artist.

"This, I think," as Sherlock Holmes would say, "has all the appearances of vandalism."

What! Vandalism! In these sacred precincts? Surely only unintelligent, unoccupied louts indulge in such infantile ways of asserting their egos. The fact remains, however, that certain club posters on the notice boards were defaced, which indicates that those responsible are either unintelligent or psychopathic and in neither case are fit to be at university. (If the people concerned are uncertain to which category they belong. I advise them to consult the Department of Psychology immediately.)

If the "boys from up the hill" scrawl on posters, the uneducated can scarcely be blamed for trampling on tulips.
