...rooms in the Senior dormitories, Hollis, Holworthy, and Stoughton. Probably most of the men who will take advantage of the Senior privilege have already made up their minds to do so, but to those who are still in doubt a few words of advice may still be of some avail...
Dissatisfaction, however evident, will be of no avail unless its effect appears in the plans for another season. As a rule the captain appoints the coach, and, although he may attempt to follow a certain policy, his choice will necessarily have in view the success of his own team or his personal inclinations.

You may come far short of this disagreeable standard and still be a rather useless member of society. Your education, your cultivation, will not help you if you make the mistake of thinking that is a substitute for instead...
