Furthermore the ratio of higher thinkers to high livers is continually rising, as the library and office statistics show. The great populace at the University is apt to slur over moral laxity in a man provided he is affable and kindly, i.e., a 'good fellow.' Yet it is undeniable that the feeling of contempt, for vice and extravagance, gathers strength among all as the four years pass. The influence of the sporting men, of men of fashion...
