"Great Port, That"

Rusticated for trying to hurl a don into a pond, 22-year-old President Frederic Carl Granville Bradley of the Claret Club of Trinity College, Oxford explained to the A.P. the steps that led up to the fateful incident: 1) "We put on our club dress--the blue dinner jacket with the red facing and white tie; 2) we drank Merienda, an excellent, medium-dry sherry. Then we adjourned to the hall to take Chablis with the oysters; 3) this was followed by a clear soup. With the next dish, turbot--that's a fish--cutlets--we took a little hock; 4) we went on to roast duckling with a truly magnificent claret, St. Emilion Clos Fourtet 1943, I believe; 5) this was followed by oeufs benedictines . . . The second claret--by tradition we always take two--came with the Stilton cheese. Then we adjourned for a little fruit and some Cockburn '35--great port, that. 6) Some time later--around two in the morning--we decided that the time had come to invite the junior dean, Mr. John Cooper, to have a swim."
