...German; French is my optional. . . . There are five things in which a man must excel here to be highly thought of: Boating, foot-ball, baseball, literary ability, or scholarship. A man that don't count in any one of these is no good, unless he is a thoroughly 'good fellow.' Many of the differences between the students of Eastern and Western Colleges are due to the fact of the former living in dormitories. . . . It is terrible expensive here as compared with Ann Arbor.

The same letter intimates that in Cambridge society Harvard students are regarded as cyphers...
...equal curiosity with myself, if the various busts and statues so profusely scattered through our recitation halls were decorated with placards telling what each represented. My own case, I feel sure, is daily repeated; where some twenty busts line the walls it is quite a tax upon a fellow's knowledge to expect him to name them off to his own personal satisfaction and with sufficient glibness to insure some appearance of accuracy.
