...larger relatively than at any other college. This is attributed to the enthusiasm and strong class feeling, which the societies assisted in forming and keeping alive. The discussion concludes as follows: The advantages of the societies could not probably be fully appreciated by any except their members. The societies gather together representative men of every class and imbue them with a strong affection and respect for one another and the college. They set a goal of ambition for right living, fine character, and solid attainments before every young man entering the institution. They are extremely useful as introducers...

Princeton's attitude is naturally...
