THE DON WINS
An American girl relates that when she sat for an examination at Oxford University, the following directions as to costume were handed out: “If the candidate is a woman, she shall wear a dark suit, white jumper and black tie, black shoes and stockings. No detail may be changed or disregarded. N.B.—lf anyone should disregard these regulations, proctors are authorised to ask them to withdraw from the examinations.
She defied them, however, ahd wore a green necktie, but waited with trepidation the arrival of the Don! Presently he approached her desk from the rear, and laid the papers on her table. Catching sight of the green tie he scowled, hesitated a moment, then, the frown gradually melting into a smile, he said, “So you are still rebels!”
