...shut, and the Freshmen sent to bed, at fixed hours. Nothing of the kind is intended. On remarking some time ago that students cannot be driven anywhere by regulations, I was contradicted by the dean of another institution who insisted that by regulations they can be driven to the Devil. I accepted the amendment. We expect to rely upon creating the right environment, upon the influence that can be brought to bear by instructors, by upper classmen and by the leading figures among the Freshmen themselves. Good traditions are the mainstay of good order, and they are not hard...
...weighing of a human soul by Saint Michael, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint George. Saint Michael holds the scales and pours holy water on the form of a dragon in the scales which represents the soul, thus making the balance go down on the side of purity.

When in addition it can be truly said that the plot,--in even...
...making catcalls and bellowing snatches of what were once songs. It is only charitable and reasonable to suppose that the majority of these offenders are Freshmen. For they make the noise for one of two reasons; either because they wish people in the vicinity to think that they are devil-may-care, hard-drinking fellows, or they are men who really have been indulging beyond the point of sobriety. If they are not Freshmen, in the first case, they ought to know that men do not win instant and lasting popularity or admiration from other men by being such rakish...
