Congratulations Andrew. Many fine men have graduated from our alma mater with a 2.2, and been all the better for it. I for one would have been disappointed if you had achieved a 2.1.

Cousin Jasper’s advice to Charles Ryder in ‘Brideshead Revisited’: “You want either a First or a Fourth. There is no value in anything in between. Time spent on a good second is time thrown away.”

That’s the relevant part. Here’s more, just because it’s funny: “Clothes. Dress as you do in a country house. Never wear a tweed coat and flannel trousers – always a suit. And go to a London tailor; you get better cut and longer credit … Clubs. Join the Carlton now now and the Grid at the beginning of your second year. If you want to run for the Union – and it’s not a bad thing to do – make your reputation outside first, at the Canning or the Chatham, and begin by speaking on the paper .. keep clear of Boar’s Hill … Don’t treat dons like schoolmasters; treat them as you would the vicar at home … Beware of Anglo-Catholics – they’re all sodomites with unpleasant accents.”

Congratulations!

I must heartily congratulate you on the one hand, but then on the other, I feel you have slighted me greatly, in that the two things you insulted in that witty writing are 2:1′s and BSc’s. Both of which happen to be what I am acheiving at the moment! I see no other choice but to either change my degree or give up working for a bit and aim for a 2:2, what would you say?

*sigh* Not the Archbishop So-So degree. Those Anglicans just want to ruin the future of the Catholic Church. Though I must say Young So-So does have a certain ring to it. Congratulations and I hope your family has a safe journey.
