...living at the college left a deep impression on those who listened to him. It would be a pity if nothing more should come of them than a general confession of their justness, and a vague appeal to wealthy parents to cut down their sons' allowances. If we depend much or mainly on an example of simple living on the part of those who have been bred in luxury, we shall be disappointed.

The faculty in its analogous position of liberal thought and conservative action, seems inclined to give these documents the best interpretation possible, and, in so far as they depend upon diplomatic wording, and harrowing statement, they are successful. As to the latter point, it seems curious that, while the faculty is callous to excuses of over study, they yield at once to the blandishments of cell-wall degeneration of the lung...
