“When I decided to leave they were playing ‘D’you remember?’ ‘D’you remember the time when you put the glue in old Stuffy’s inkwell?’ .‘D’you remember the time when we did this?’ ‘D’you remember the time we did that?’ They discussed the masters, and it was plain to me that 'those masters were no ordinary men. That’s what makes me feel that the things an old school tie stands for are worth-while things. They’re so worth while that I believe everybody’s kids should have the opportunity of being imbued with them. If this one or that one doesn't measure up, he’ll fall by the wayside and drop out of sight in the ordinary course of events anyway. This old school tie-up that I witnessed the other evening, and have just been telling you about, showed me a couple of guys that’ve got what it takes.”—A Canadian, Stanley Mexted, in a 8.8. C. “Off the Record” talk.
