Interesting. Alf was a great raconteur, as befitted a
parliamentary draftsman, and the story may have developed a little over
the years!

Quoting Charles Mitchell:
Dear Hector
You'll see that the Telegraph
obituarist quotes him as saying that:
"One of the examiners congratulated
me on my economy of effort," he recalled. "If I'd got one
mark less I'd have failed. As it was I came away with a Third."
I wonder about this, though: would he
not have got a Fourth if he'd got one mark less? I don't know how the
degree classification rules worked at Cambridge in the 30s.
