It appears that the students at first fell from grace by yielding to the temptation to rest on Saturday and to study on Sunday...
...some races recently held at Eton, the winner ran a mile in 4 min. 43 sec. In a poem in a recent number of the Etonian, it is interesting to notice that "cher enfant" is made to rhyme with "upon...
