About the 20th of October students rattled back to their Alma Mater from all parts of the country with an eager lust for the coming fray. For myself I can solemnly say that the ensuing fortnight was the happiest time I have ever had. The abandon, the madness of it; the fiercest possible fighting and raiding, with a minimum of serious injury; and behind it all, on both sides, the greatest good-humour--all these are impossible to describe. Only students, I imagine, could fight such wild, lunatic fights with never a lost temper. +----------------------------------+ | | | _The Glasgow University | | Conservative and Liberal Clubs | | hereby agree to the following | | arrangements for the conduct | | of the Rectorial Election._ | | | | * * * * *| | | | 1.
