...perhaps one last hypocrisy to ensure comfort in old age. The rhetorical, mock-modest manner of his memoirs, which he published to a wide audience in 1811, indicate the complete hypocrite -a varlet of guile and gusto to whom a naive generation quite naturally credited unnatural sins and the comradeship of Satan. Poet Frost, in a preface to the reissued memoirs, would place Burroughs beside Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin to complete the evidence that our young country grew all kinds of fine flowers...
...comes in college life from association with a group of comrades around a common table." But if it had really afforded those advantages, would it have dwindled and passed? Undergraduates may be deaf to the call of the Muses, but they have a thirst unquenchable for college life and comradeship.

"The Rector...
...advantages of summer training have often been painted in glowing colors--and as far as comradeship and open air and so forth are concerned, probably these advantages are not overestimated. But athletes, accustomed to hard and violent training will find little besides a healthful routine; and if it should be with them merely a question of spending the summer somehow, tennis and swimming would probably supply more exercise and better conditioning than trailing a rifie around Camp Devens...
