B1ocRAPHn3s. 33 It is with very great pleasure that I answer the request to report to you on the intellectual status of your class-boy, Paul Fox Murdock.

As a logical corollary he has distinguished himself in the prize list, and during his attend- ance has won five out of a possible seven awards. Such intellectual attainments are eminently satisfactory, but the best of it all is that he reaches his excellence in scholarship without being a grind I-Ie possesses a pleasing personality, which renders him universally popular among the boys, and his physique is sufficiently sturdy to augur well for his athletic prowess when he reaches the Upper School.
