It is true that both the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality give annual concerts in Cambridge; but that they should accomplish no more than this for the year's work does not speak well for their management.

Billiard-rooms and Carl's were anathema maranatha, and he refused to go to athletic meetings, because he had heard that the horrid sin of betting was prevalent at them. He frequently lectured his classmates on their immorality, and even wrote of their wickedness to the Herald. But, instead of being looked up to as "a superior young man," he was shunned by his fellows, and even the Cambridge ladies could not stand him. They said he was a horrid, conceited little snob...
