...could not remain entirely miserable under this trouble; indeed, if I could have had some confidant it might have been easier to bear. But I was a young man, and not naturally a despondent one; and therefore I regained to some extent my usual good spirits before the summer had passed. And perhaps the companionship of Miss Edith Austen had helped solace me. She was truly a very charming girl, - her glass and her friends told her so, - and I think she fully believed it; she had her little vanities, which she carefully concealed from the public gaze...
...that about him that would induce men to go to him; he would not have to go to them, and in that way his relations would have been most friendly with the students.

That subject has been discussed till every one is weary of the subject, but we do believe that our own Alma Mater should remain true to her principles, and we regret deeply to see her even by slow degrees abandon her position by the side of Yale, Columbia, and Princeton, for a new one with Cornell, Oberlin, and Boston University...
