I have spent a good deal of time with Lord Rayleigh, who is the Chancellor of Cambridge University.

He never goes there.

If he were to enter the town, all the men in the university would have to stop their work, get on their parade-day gowns, line-up by precedent and rank and go to meet him and go through days of ceremony and incantations.

I think the old man has been there once in five years.

Now this mediaevalism must go--or be modified.
