...Club is an active semi-social group of students, which meets informally for the discussion of topics related to the course.

Even at that such a man would probably exasperate everyone by doting upon some obscure Hamlet of two hundred years ago whom he saw just after falling in love for the first time...
...telephone book, even with street-numbers omitted, would still be invaluable; and in the case of the Register the omissions are insignificant in comparison with the broad and inclusive contents. It is a product which needs no advertising; its value is already proved...
