...doing nobly at college. The hereditary instinct is beginning to assert itself at last. He has joined the Young Men's Christian Association; has been foremost in every class rush and ruction; claims to have disabled permanently two sophomores, - and is himself a mass of bruises from head to foot. His popularity has so grown that all the freshman secret societies are after him, and he has, as I understand, already joined several.
