A Trinity man who drove through the Great Gate and
across the court would, I imagine, find himself in sharp collision with the authorities. But a Trinity man is going to do- it next term—in collu- sion with the authorities. His name is George VI, which explains a good deal. Trinity was his college during his relatively brief time at Cambridge in 1919-20, and in driving into Trinity as no common mortal can he is following a precedent set by his great- grandmother, Queen Victoria. The occasion is the quatercentenary of the foundation of the college, which is far from being among the oldest in Cambridge but can justly claim today to be the greatest, and not in numbers only. Measured by 0.M.s—with its Master conspicuous among them—it is unique in either university. It is highly fitting that the King, who has so long figured on its boards, should take his part in the coming celebrations.
