Mischief, like evil, is usually wrought more from want of thought than for any other reason. The youths who act so foolishly at University commemorations probably believe that they are remarkably funny, but a calm review of the proceedings ought to induce them to ponder the question whether what they are doing is in colonial parlance "good enough". Are they not belittling their own order by insulting the Chancellor and his guests with their senseless cat-calls, infantile pranks, and often impertinent and rarely witty ejaculations.

The true significance of the expression "excruciatingly funny" was never more forcibly illustrated than by the crude, child-like treatment accorded political, social and religious subjects at the hands of those who, as students in a centre of learning and culture; people naturally expected to be possessed of loftier, nobler and more logical conceptions of things in general.

To others, it means, primarily, a place where useful social contacts are made; and there is still abroad a cynical notion, which is dying hard, that a university is a place where a gilded youth can play the fool for a few years, before proudly facing the world with a record of academic failure.
