How Green is Our Sweater

How Green is Our Sweater

Cruising along the corridor betwixt 5 and 7 the other evening your sporting scribe could not fall to be impressed by the new figures and faces on display. It appears that the number of permanent undergraduates so long a perennial feature of VUG'S gloomy caverns, is dwindling, possibly due to the extra commercialism of the college office of late.

But scorn them not! Ye trembling expellates of high school or colleges! They were indeed a sturdy if at times unsteady band of hope for the green and gold.
