...seems that college life is inevitably too specialized, and that one thinks quite naturally of the students in the different colleges as leading one kind or another of very unnatural lives--except at Harvard, which is notoriously different. It by good fortune has been so disorganized and well nigh chaotic that it might almost be called natural. Or, perhaps, Harvard has not so much ruled out the yeast as to remove all those leavening distractions which to some degree save the student from the set and sterile point of view of its academic side, its ever-encroaching zeal for "scholarship...

Through its symbolism and its brogue you discern the simple story of an Irish footballer who went to war and returned paralyzed below the waist. He then had to roll himself about...
