EDITORIAL An interesting artic1e which recently appeared in one of the leading newspapers stated that no less than one third of the appUcants for university under the U .C.C.A. scheme this year would fail to gain places-and this inspite of the fact that all of them have suffident qualifications. This is an alarming thought. It suggests that in future outstanding rather than good passes at 'A' Level will be needed before the young people of this country can obtain university education. There are of course obvious solutions, one of which-the building of many more universities-is more easily stated than carrled out. Schools too will inevitably change in ethos-intent rather upon sheer academic ~ttainment than upon the creation of what we loosely term character training and responsibility, they will not necessarily be better places. Moreover, in the present atmosphere of secondary school re. organization it is by no means certain that the required academic standards will be forthcoming at any rate for some time. And this raises a further point. Is it morally acceptable for a school such as Abingdon to sacrifice everything for the sake of academic results? Well balanced achievetnent is in any case probably as desirable in this modern age as in the past. It is said that traditions die hard. One of Abingdon's traditions is the production of this balanced achievement and it is a tradition which will and must survive the present problems. Whatever the outcome of modern educational upheaval and change our aim must remain to educate in the fuU sense of the word and to produce as far as we are able young men of such quality that they will be able to withstand all the sodal, moral and physical stresses which will be imposed upon them. 552 THE ABINGDONIAN SOHOOL NOTES It is with profound regret that we record the death of a senior member of the School, David Cullen, which occurred instantaneously, as the result of a shooting accident, on Tuesday, 31st May, at Bramley, Surrey, where he was staying with friends of the family over the half­ term weekend. David CharIes Cullen, second son of F/Lt. C. S. Cullen, R.A.F., and Mrs. Cullen, was born on 7th March, 1949, and entered School House as a boarder in April, 1963. At the time of his death he was a member of Lower Sixth (Arts). He was a popular boy ofwide interests, which ranged ,from ringing church beils to tinkering with old motor cars. He had already established himself as a personality in the House, and he had been marked down for early promotion to office. 'To his parents, who were in Germany at the time, to his brothers­ and especially to Michael, who was present when the accident happened -and to Mr. and Mrs. Nye, the friends with whom he was staying, we offer our deepest sympathy. The Headmaster and Mr. Tammadge, David's housemaster, accom­ panied by four of his friends, attended the funeral, which took place in the Iittle village church of Abbot's Ann on Friday, 3rd June. On the same aftemoon his friends of the School Campanological Society rang a quarter-peal of 1260 plain bob doubles, half-mufiled, in his memory at the Church of St. Nicolas, Abingdon. Many more of his friends were able to attend a simple memorial service held in the School Chapel at noon on Sunday, 5th June, at which the Headmaster gave a short address and the lesson was read by Mr. Tammadge. We salute two Govemors who are going to have a Iittle more time in future to enjoy Iife-and to help ran the School: Mr.·Bredin, on retirement from his second full-time career, as Bursar of Pembroke College, Oxford, and Alderman Freeman, who is giving up the post of Clerk of the DidcQt Parish Council. And continued good 'wishes to Alderman Dr. Mary Watson, whose courage remains unabated during long and tiresome convalescence. We congratuIate our good friend, Alderman G. W. Phillips, on his re-election as one of the Corporation's representatives on the Gov~ming Body. Welcome home to Dr. Alan Tayler, after his year in America.
