...years past, the Deans have reacted to parietal rule appeals like a war-horse to the clarion's blare. Believing it their solemn duty to protect undergraduate morality (and presumably the revered name of Harvard as well), they have rejected all pleas for parietal leniency with remarkable persistence...

And it has all sorts of literal sound effects: the click of a microfilm camera, the rustle of papers, the jangle of telephones, the blare of radios, opening & closing doors.

Only slightly smaller than the Navy's Juneau class antiaircraft cruisers,* the Norfolk is 54O-ft. long, will carry a main battery of dual-purpose guns (probably five-inch), and a hull crammed with the latest antisub detectors...
