Not without misgiving was it decided to revive this year that "poor thing but our own"-the "Founder." Behind, lay the grim spectre of the financial disaster of 1929; before, no assurance of success, but plenty of optimism. As was pointed out recently, the Rhodian is intended to mirror the College spirit, and we take this opportunity of affirming that the object of the "Founder" also is to reflect the spirit of the College-in its lighter and more abandoned moments-in fact, "just Rhodes talking."
