*This rule or at least a similar one had been made in 1862 (vide Entry No. 30) but it had been broken once or twice since. H.J. Roberts In consequence of a T.B having been tanned in College without the consent of the head T.B. Scott has given the following rule “That the Captain &…
There was no Charterhouse match this year on account of that school being moved to Godalming, so instead we played the M.C.C at Lords & were beaten in the first innings by over 200 runs. The disgraceful conduct of some of the younger townboys present at this match must not be passed over without mention.…
In March another of those unpleasant rows took place which have from time to time made their appearance in the chronicle. Several articles had been missing in this house (Grant’s) from October last, when about the time of the Athletic Sports a boy named Lefroy had lost a little mechanical engine under circumstances which left…

Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, came of age on Sunday the 9th of Nov., but owing to it being on a Sunday it was kept all over the Kingdom (except Westminster) on Monday. That is we did not keep it properly. It being Monday we of course expected leave till 10. This we did not…
Last half year we had another of more tanning rows which do more to destroy the discipline of the school than anything else.
