...home is half the journey,' so much do they make of the start. But you are already on the threshold, and Harvard pilgrims, like those of Canterbury of long centuries ago, are quick to entertain themselves. Different men find many different attractions in a time like this, but I think we shall all of us agree that one of them, at least, is its evenness. The scales, elsewhere ascending and descending with great abruptness, here come to a quiet poise. We are from all sorts of pursuits, all sorts of hobbies, but here there is only...
...income. Mr. Blakie may lock the doors of the boat-house next October, and refuse to admit any one until a sufficient number of paying members is obtained, and this would be a wise course for him to take.

...plan is this - Don't you think, Mr. Editor, it would work? Of course examinations cannot be arranged so as to please every one; but to me it seems very unjust that some men should have so much less time to prepare them than others have. I know of one case (my own) where the poor fellow has five exams in three days, and the first three days of the first week. Now my cousin has five examinations in three weeks, with plenty of time to prepare them, and time to go to the theatre...
