These have no instinct of loyalty, no ardor of enlistment, no sense of a common life, and contribute nothing to the common good, yet they think that their insignificant career should sway everything in college as in home and society. And so it is that the dangers in college life are not so much from the wickedness of boys whose doings are heralded far and wide, as from the evil that arises from many home habits, school sentiment, and overestimate of self.
