81、 things that are missing. First of all, a valuable clock which was presented to the college over a hundred years ago has disappeared. The clock cannot easily be sold as it has the name of the college on the front and would immediately be recognized. A painting of the college by Arnolfini has also be

Now, whoever took these objects also broke open the cupboard in the staff room and took some antique glasses, eight altogether. These were given to the college many years ago by another director. They could

But perhaps the most worrying of all, is the fact that the end-of-term examination papers have been stolen from a filing cabinet. If these papers cannot be marked, everyone in the college will suffer. Now if you can help, or if you have seen or heard anything which .
