...college, the interest is doubled-compounded, would be, perhaps, a better word-when the institution we are permitted to visit is, in every sense of the word, a sister college. It is only too true that the great body of the "men who are studying at Cambridge" are unacquainted, save by hearsay, with the mores that prevail at Wellesley, but we venture to make the assertion that this state of things would not endure for a moment if we could but be fortunate enough to receive one of the highly-prized "bids" to a Wellesley Junior Reception...
