...correct. Unfortunately this view and the habit of trying to force everyone to "do what the crowd does", has been the means of crushing many an extraordinary personality when it was in the formative stage. Shelley's classmates did their best to force his queerness into the average path, but fortunately for posterity, his will was he stronger and they were unsuccessful. The normal while often more desirable than the abnormal is not always the best rut to travel. Smothering the individual, making him subject to the caprices of the majority, is the trend hazing takes; the "queer", but possibly...
...form of rain. But although experiments have been carried on for more than a year and a half, they have never achieved complete success until five days ago. At that time onlookers might have heard an aeroplane pass far above their heads, seen the air grow clear in its path, and feel drops of rain fall on their outstretched hands. The phenomenon was described as "absolutely uncanny" one which would have appeared miraculous to a man unaware of its cause...

And voices which at first objected that the new Glee Club was not a Glee Club but only a Choral Society are heard no more--evidence enough that the Club's policy has won popular as well as critical favor. Public opinion has been "educated...
From present indications there is no need to fear that the Class of 1924 will ignore the path of its predecessors into the Yard. The difficulty will be, more likely, what it was last year: the problem of crowding all applicants into the five buildings set aside for Seniors. It is late now to suggest that one or both of the remaining Yard dormitories should have been included in this year's Senior allotment. But if enough members of 1924 apply, there is no reason why they should not overflow until they fill either Matthews, or Weld, or both...
