  • As a young university student, Stevenson had exhibited a preparedness to challenge rules. Standing in the Registrar's Office during the matriculation ceremony in 1921, and asked to vow to 'obey the rules so far as they apply to me', Stevenson had instead said 'so far as they appeal to me'. (en)
