...world knows about the Boston Athenaeum; few know that non-members are not only allowed, but invited, to push open its massive doors at 10 1-2 Beacon street. It would be a distinct breach to ask to see the famous collection of "scruple" books in which the members dip at will; and you mustn't even cast a longing eye at the Vanity Fairs laid out in the magaxine reading room.

But there are always found in groups, erratic leaders who push a good thing too far, and by that I'm referring to Professor John Andrew Rice, who taught liberalism knowing no bounds and disregarding all laws of convention.
