...first you will be inclined to laugh at this man, and to think that he is not smart in his ideas. I suggest that you watch him closely, for he will presently demonstrate to you that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money.

The average foreigner has been all too likely to become an outsider in everything but name, through no fault of his own and no fault of the other students.
