Profs and pupils . . . both were inissing, but both will be back when they can be. We noticed the effects: classes without fellows, a smaller faculty with places waiting for profs on leave . . . The routine was the same: eight o ' clocks and labs; and we still cut, and the profs cut, too. Classes are just part of the Westminster we ' re saving tor those who come back.
