...been suggested by several members of the Dining Association who have great regard for their personal safety and facial beauty, that a new arrangement be adopted in regard to the doors at Memorial. At present two men coming from opposite sides are very liable to meet with the door between, much to their personal discomfort and inconvenience, to say nothing of permanent disfigurement.

Besides this, he wholly lacks the studied method of the Booth school, to which...

I straightened myself up, tried to feel as if my photograph were being taken, and thought of the cruel exactions of the history professor. I flattered myself that every hair of my mustache was standing out with indignation, when I heard one young lady whisper to another, "He looks just like our cat when she's mad." This completely upset my gravity, and made it impossible to look fierce any longer...
