In Kiss the Boys Goodbye, a second Civil War rages about the Connecticut countryside, and this time it is Grant who hands over his sword...
...advisory system, long a chink in the college armor, was brought to popular attention last spring by Dean Leighton's memorandum, and it was finally recognized that the system as it then existed was a failure. The eighty-four professors, instructors, proctors, and janitors, who were given a two-day unrecompensed guardianship over the Yardlings could not be counted upon for the intelligent guidance needed by those unitiated to college life and the wals of Harvard...
