...condition of the walks cause any inconvenience to the students. The instructor could sit in his cosey library and ask his questions, and the student could answer while rolling another cigarette. As for those students who would be likely to read their answers out of their books (although I think there are none of that kind in Harvard), their case could be attended to by the army of proctors, who have little else...
...could secure connections with the leading theatres, and thus the wearisome horse-cars would be avoided. It may be objected that one would not see the actresses, yet, if I remember rightly, the many and excellent pictures which I have seen in the students' rooms would obviate this difficulty.

Think of the patriotic westerner debating with himself as to which one of the four hundred and fifty-six "monohippic" colleges he shall honor with his presence! What peculiar risk there is in going to Cornell we are at a loss to discover, unless, indeed, it is the Ithaca mud which...
