That provisions looking to the abolishment of long hair in this college should have existed is perfectly proper. It is a self-evident fact that long hair per se is subversive of all established rules and authority. It is needless to dive into antiquity to secure proofs in support of this proposition.

Butterfield pricked up his ears at this, expecting to hear some sage advice as to the proper food for a young dog. "Oh, I shall give him chum's note-book and something from the reference shelves." Butterfield was startled, and then began to wonder what particular breed of dog the gentleman's pup belonged to. "I wish you'd let me take...
