But I bet you are allowed investments, sit on boards, and draw funds from a trust. If so, what a horrible throw back to ancient times. Are you sanctioned to work during vacations?

Unless, of course, Cambridge students are expected to legitimately subvert the regulations, thereby preparing themselves for a lifetime of sailing close to the wind :)
