I think we might look over the rules and see if we can get anything in which will keep cowards and cads out of the club.
Of course that wouldn't affect any of you, but it would help to keep us more select for the future.

(Cheers.) In fact, I don't see, gentlemen, why we shouldn't make the club big enough to take in any fellow who, like all of you, hates cowardice, and meanness, and dirtiness, and that sort of thing.

(Cheers, not unmixed with blushes.) We may not all think alike about everything, but, if we are all agreed it's good form to be gentlemen, and honest and brave, I don't see why we can't be 'Select Sociables' still.

We pride ourselves at Templeton on being one of the crack schools in the country.

(Loud cheers.) Well, any lot of fellows who set up for the 'Select' here ought to be the crack of the crack--like you all, for instance.
