CHAPTER 2
1.
One magnificent chimney is preserved at the Damart factory.
2.
The titles president, principal, provost, warden, and mistress are also in use in Oxford and Cambridge.
3.
The system at Cambridge has changed since the 1930s. When Hoyle was admitted, tutors were centrally involved in college teaching, but this is now arranged by directors of studies.
4.
Today, admissions to Cambridge are running at over 5,000 annually, a number that is equal to the entire student body in the 1930s.

Here, and in what immediately follows on Hoyle as an undergraduate, I used Emmanuel College Magazine, volumes 29 and 30.

I am indebted to Professor Don Clayton of Clemson University for providing me with a copy of a personal letter dated June 11, 1997, from Hoyle to Clayton. In this letter Hoyle describes his first climb in Scotland in detail. My account is taken directly from this letter.
