...other in comparison with which they sink into insignificance. It has frequently happened that as soon as a number of men had finished their papers, the books were seized by some proctor, who, after reading until he came to a passage that seemed to him ridiculous, would call a fellow-proctor to enjoy the laugh with him. Now, examination-books are written for instructors; proctors have no right to read them, and those few who take the right and make sport over them insult every student in the examination-room...

...proudest of those old families who boast that they have been pork-packers since the century began. Now, Buckeye, with his wealth and connections, might have taken a first place in the social world at Neophogen, and afterwards in the great world. But the foolish fellow threw away his chances. To use rather a vulgar phrase, he never took account of stock; and, when he might have had the best, he was quite as likely, through sheer ignorance, to choose the worst. Who were his friends? Before he had been two months at Neophogen he was inseparable, not with Buoy...
