Strange things happen to undergraduates. One of them at Cambridge,

I notice, after a bump-supper last week, injudiciously proceeded to drive a motor-car and landed it in a tobacconist's shop. In the course of certain subsequent proceedings it turned out that he had had part of a bottle of beer, three glasses of champagne and two glasses of sherry (only that) and it was not the liquor that had made him seem drunk; not at all; but the fact that a fortnight before he had fallen down ten steps, striking his head on each one successively. As I say, strange things happen to undergraduates. The other strange thing that happened to this one was £20 fine, two years' licence-suspension and £2 12s. costs.
