"You have come to Oxford," [the Warden] concluded, "some of you to hunt foxes, some of you to wear very large and unusual overcoats, some of you to row for your college, and a few of you to work. But all of you have come to Oxford to remain English gentlemen. In after life when you are ambassadors or proconsuls and members of Parliament you will never remember this little address which I have the honour now of delivering to you. That will not matter, so long as you always remember that you are St Mary's men and the heirs of an honourable and ancient foundation."

Sinister Street, Compton Mackenzie
