...arrangement will bring new advantage to all concerned; it will enable those outside to come in and enjoy the associations of the dining-hall, thereby filling up the tables and insuring the success of the Association; and, moreover, it will lessen the price of the regular board; for each man would pay the regular price beside paying for such extras as he might order; but those who took extras would naturally not consume the regular fare, although they pay for it; therefore all the non-consumption would go to the credit of the general stock and thus decrease the general...

Their education is more cosmopolitan - if I may use the word - than any other on this continent, and the name and prestige of their college gives them a perfectly proper feeling of pride, not unlike that which any man feels who is fortunate enough to belong to a distinguished family.

There is no fault to be found that this is so, but the cause of failure must be understood before the remedy...
...same trouble comes into many of our affairs. There is no definite object for which a man can work. Time was when it was something to row well. A place on the crew was a thing to excite the ambition of any man. Now, there is no object sufficient to bring out the best material for the boat. How, in fact, can a man distinguish himself here, - make a name that every one will acknowledge was worth making? He may lead his class, and no one but his few rivals will care at all. He may be stroke...
