II. End of Term Collections****
Term is ending. On Friday and on Saturday the undergraduates are themselves collected. "End of Term Collections" is the

*** Or was he uttering the most devastating criticism? – Или он полностью раскритиковал его?

official title of the ceremony. "Handshaking" it is informally called or, more commonly, "Don Rag."*
The undergraduates receive verbally an end-of-term report. In some colleges the ceremony is private. The undergraduate is along with the Head of his college and the Head of the College has in his hands a written report from the man's tutor. And there whatever is said, is said.**
In many colleges it is a less intimate and more frightening ceremony. The Head of the College sits in the hall at the High Table, flanked by Moral Tutors.*** They are, in the eyes of the young, a body of old, old men – malicious, malevolent old sadists, laughing proudly at their own jokes, jokes always at some poor undergraduate's expense.
One by one the young men are summoned.
"Mr Smith."
He walks the long way up the Hall, for the young men awaiting their summons have chosen their seats at the other end of the Hall, as far away from the High Table as they can get. He is conscious that his shoes squeak, or sound very loud on the stone floor. The inquisitors are massed on the other side of the table. On his side there is a single chair.
"Sit down, Mr Smith."
"Mr Smith, Master, has been coming to me this term. He has been working very well, as he always does. He needs, of course, to do a lot of reading in vacation."
"That is a good report, Mr Smith. Yes, pay attention to your tutor's advice – and give my very kind regards to your father. He is well, I think." (Mr Smith cannot tell the Master that he has not got a father. It happens term after term at Collections, the only time when Mr Smith and the Master are brought face to face. It is some other Smith, of course, with whom the Master regularly confuses him, a Smith who went down some terms ago.)
At about half past six in the evening, Larry emerges from Hall. He had not been certain what to expect, and he had faced the ordeal with some anxiety.

His tutor said, "Mr Minthauser is still in the process of setting down, Master. He isn't quite used to our methods yet. He is beginning to learn that we don't regard length in an essay as any particular virtue – indeed that we rather mistrust people who can't express themselves briefly. But of course it's all new to him and he is tackling it in quite the right spirit."*
And the master has said, "How would you report on yourself, Mr Minthauser?"
"I guess I'll make out in the end, but somebody's going to have to do some work on me first."
"Good," the master says.
