...said before, you will find the moral tone of your surroundings very different from tone of your home. You will hear things said and see things done, which you have always been taught to regard-with holy horror. For example, I will speak of drunkenness. I am familiar enough with the views of your mother and of your great-aunt Lucretia upon this matter to know that you, who have passed a good portion of your life in the society of those ladies, went to college with an idea that a man who had ever succumbed to the influence...

...words more, and I shall ask your pardon if I hurry on in a very unconnected way. To come back to college drunkenness, you will find as you grow more familiar with college life that a great many men talk about getting drunk who seldom drink too much. You will find, too, that many of the fellows who in the beginning of the course have occasionally been overcome by punch, soon give it up.

Also no students could, "under any pretence whatever, use the company or familiar acquaintance of persons of ungirt and dissolute life," or be present at any "Courts, Elections, Faires, Traineings," etc., without leave; and, finally, they were not allowed to "stay out of the Colledge after nine of the clock at night, nor watch after eleven, nor have a light before four in the morning, except upon extraordinary occasions...

...brick halls stands a dingy wooden table with numerous square-cornered cells bearing various sorts of journals and a dilapidated heap of Punch in the midst. The Hall is Massachusetts; the interior is the reading-room; and a virgin octavo, lying on the table, is familiar to but few undergraduates, under the title of the New-Englander. On my occasional visits to the hall aforesaid, I seldom fail to turn down the leaves of the New-Englander, for the sake of passing through the sleepy obscurity which marks the pages and the thought of the retired periodical...
