...Harvard, especially, is the long, sinister finger of suspicion pointed, for a car bearing a Massachusetts license was seen to drive off after several men allegedly loaded the vehicle with a large, bulky parcel which they carried out of the building in which the each singles are located. Princeton and Yale undergraduates are also variously reported to be implicated in the roberry. On the New Haven campus, in fact, the university authorities are said to have threatened expulsion for any Eli undergraduates found to be implicated in the removal of the Blue shrine...

And in the homes of Princeton graduates from the classes before the break one could note rich rugs, fur coats, and electric pianos. They were prosperous enough to afford luxuries. Indeed, in one Princeton home I saw a book, and when any man from old Nassau goes in for literature you may be sure that he is treading on velvet and that he doesn't care how he squanders his money...
