...splendid feeling for the fitness of things inspires that ever growing class of intellectuals who adorn the backs of their slickers with wholesome sentiments of tender passion. And how the boys are learning to draw, too: fine big letters, girls' names, and even an occasional picture bring back sweet memories of rainy days at High School. It hurt a man awfully to have to stop ornamenting his slicker when he came East from Wide-Wide Plains, Kansas, and some even wandered as far as New Jersey so that they could continue this normal practice...
Through the long afternoons, they tossed the ball about as only professionals can in spring practice. Small boys seated on neighboring fences , emitted jeering sounds as the famed leaguers juggled, fumbled, panted, struck out. The weeks went by. Mockingbirds sang sweet in the cottonwood trees. The players could hear, in the evening, the strumming of banjo-strings, the warm, drowsy voices of the darkies singing Old Black Joe or perhaps Dem Golden Slippers in the hotel palm room.

They witnessed, in addition, an accidental and well-nigh tragic incident which concerned Curt Taucher, tenor, who sang Siegfried, favorite of the Gods...
...undergraduate body- "two nephews of the president and the professor's son"- complained bitterly about the fish cakes. They added that the butter was bad. For many years thereafter, good wholesome fare was served in Commons, at the sight of which Harvard students laid down their table implements; sweet dairy butter was passed at which they bit their thumbs. Things reached a crisis about the butter, in colonial days, when a "Butter Rebellion" was organized, and Harvard funny men chanted a petition alleging that "our butter stinketh,- give us therefore, butter that stinketh not." Sir Thomas Bernard, the Royal...
