Due to indisposition, however, the text of Sir Patrick Linstead's speech had to be read last Thursday by the Pro-Rector, Sir Owen Saunders. He spoke of the six-month post- ponement of the starting dates of " buildings in the public sector " as a grievous disappointment.

"To hold up this development was surely the falsest of economies." The extent to which IC contributed to public work was shown by the way " Whitehall seems to look rather fre- quently across Westminster from Big Ben to the Queen's Tower.

At present they have about six girls interested in learning the sport and equiping themselves for the fray of I.C. hops. But these girls take their sport seriously, in spite of being handicapped by a shortage of space.
