On Monday the 11th June I went to Scott, in pursuance of a determination formed last Half – and asked him to allow the Under Remove to fag, urging several reasons, and among others, the small number of Townboys then having the power of fagging, and the necessity of keeping up discipline among the smaller fellows, and of giving the Town Boys a fair weight & influence in the upper part of the School, to counteract the (I am sorry to say) increasing predominance of the Q. S. S. He behaved very well in the matter, said that he was sorry to find so few Town Boys in the Upper part of the School, but had been endeavouring to remedy it, by awarding the absurd rules (his own words) brought him last Half, & that, had not Dowdeswell objected most strongly, he should then have allowed this fagging to continue. He took about a fortnight to consider, and then gave his formal assent to the Under Remove fagging & enjoying the same privileges as the Upper.
