Cambridge Men's 'Paper School'
Nearly Hoaxes British Royalty
By the Aisocioted Pres*
LONDON, April 29.—The weekly
News Review said yesterday that
two imaginative Cambridge students
set up a mythical school on paper
last February and almost got
Britain's King and Queen to attend
its "300th anniversary celebration."
“Selhurst School, near Petworth.
Sussex,” was born and thrived on
$1.60 worth of letterheads, (News
Review said.
The brains behind it were two
undergraduates of Pembroke Col
lege, Cambridge, and its mythical
headmaster was one "H. Rochester
Sneath.”

rest?
It claimed a student body of
375 boys.
Headmasters of some of Britain’s
best schools were taken in by the
hoax, the weekly said, giving this
account:
Last February Headmaster Sneath
sprayed headmasters of colleges
throughout England with letters. He
asked them to back him for mem
bership in the headmasters' confer
ence, to address his student body,
and to help persuade the King and
Queen to attend the 300th anniver
sary of Selhurst's founding.
Some of them. News Review said,
were completely unaware that "Sel
hurst School, near Petworth, Sus
sex" was strictly a gag.
The magazine said Sneath asked
one headmaster to arrange for the
King and Queen to attend the ‘ tri
centenary celebrations" of Selhurst.
A misunderstanding arose over the
date, and the real headmaster
closed the exchange with this indig
nant letter:
"I merely received a communica
tion from the King s private secre
tary saying that the King and
Queen could visit the school on
March 12 if that date would be
convenient. I simply made arrange
ments for the day when I knew that
the King and Queen would come."
News Review said it stumbled on
the hoax while trying to interview
Sneath on a letter he wrote to the
Communist Daily Worker, com
plaining about how’ difficult it was
to teach his boys Russian.
