The proper quote is, 'These Wykehamists have the kind of mind that likes to relax by composing Alcaics on the moving parts of their toy trains' - Evelyn Waugh
Absolve me for I muddled Addington and Addison. Henry Addington was the only Wykehamist Prime Minister and Addison's is a disease. I was confused since I had been speaking about Jane Austen dying of Addison's disease a minute earlier. The house she died in is a one minute walk from the gate of the college.

Sorry, I got muddled. Betjeman composed that ditty about them: Broad of church and broad of mind...
Great rival of Eton.
It is. I respect it enormously
What is the best school for girls if Harrow and Eton are to boys?
Wycombe Abbey, St Paul's Girls' School and St Mary's Ascot
