Select committee

Good afternoon, gentlemen. After lunch, I suppose there's no need to formally introduce you all, but for the benefit of Miss Manypence from the Registry (she shall be taking the minutes, you see) — if you wouldn't mind. First, Professors Wilkes (Dialect Studies), Davis (Celtic Studies) and Rhys (Educational Psychology). The external assessors, Laurie Taylor from the BBC, and the President for‐the‐time‐being of the Library Association (Sir Harry, m'dear). The Rector, elected by the Student Body, Donald Pleasence. And from the University Court, Lord Sobers; the Ordinances of course preclude our having a Bishop, for which relief much thanks, but we are pleased to have a Moderator on this occasion. Ah yes, and Provost Marshall.
