...original portions of the House, Randolph and Westmorely Halls, were erected at a cost of more than $200,000 each, not in the dormitory tradition of architecture, but as living quarters for the more affluent students of the period just prior to the inauguration of the House Plan. The interiors of Randolph and Westmorely, while not as "modern" as those of some of the houses, have the speciousness and grandeur germane to an are when the art of living was perfected to a degree.

Since Stan Kostka comes from a little farm near South St. Paul, the stockyard centre of Minnesota, and has two brothers working in the stockyards, he has a natural claim to "Hook 'Em Cow" loyalty.

Nor are they moved by the realization that no undergraduate pays fully for the amount of equipment and instruction offered him, and that by taking an expensive room they are merely paying in proportion to their ability...
...innumerable repetitions of "in the good old summer time." Biff's imagination reaches sadly back to his youth in another little town. Nostalgia gives way to intemperate anger when he thinks of the injustices he received at the hands of rich Hugo Barnstead. The telephone rings. The affluent Mr. Barnstead is in the hotel just across the street, stricken with toothache. When he appears for treatment there is considerable doubt whether the angry Biff, gas cap in hand, will ever let him out of the operating chair alive. There is a fadeback and the audience is presented with...
