The Editor has asked me for a contribution and, to tell the truth, I am "nothing loath." The fact is I have an article already written, an article accepted by the Editor of nine years ago and subsequently withdrawn. The circumstances of the withdrawal were more entertaining, if not more important, than the article. Some of your readers will remember that in the year 1924 the College celebrated its Silver Jubilee and, further, that one of the functions on that occasion was a religious service at St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral. It occurred to me at the time that those who were responsible for the programme had made a mistake and I wrote an article called "The Objective of a University Procession," an article accepted, as I have said, by the Editor, one John Cawte Beagle-hole. Now I think this is the proper place to insert the article, because the rest of the story cannot be properly understood nor, shall we say, appreciated, without it.
