Many a Michigander brushed up his tuxedo, washed his car, made a surreptitious trip to Canada for a bottle of cheer to share with the girl friend from Detroit at the J-Hop, junior class dance.

Two days before the affair one might have heard the young men of Phi Delta Theta singing...

The younger man who manages to attain to some showy second or third rank among financiers and businessmen is so remarkable that the cheer leaders of low literature . . . and the sob sisters move down upon his abode in echelon formation. ... In the arts the matter is notorious. There are young geniuses and child prodigies, who are admired like the aardvark and the Ornithorhynchus paradoxus, but all the solid and enduring work is done...
