Abstract
In 1980 there were 180 boys at Peterhouse. In 1990 there were 940 boys and girls: 536 at the boys’ school, 214 at the girls’, and 190 at Springvale House. To cope with the expansion of numbers, building operations had been unceasing throughout the 1980s, after the initial burst as a result of the 1980 appeal.
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.
Unless the Lord guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives sleep to his beloved.
Psalm 127, vv 1 and 2 (New Revised Standard Version)
