...club-mates. For the former class, their club-mates and their surroundings in the private dormitories are refining influences, and although a poor man may work his way through College, he is thought none the less a man.

Let the Jewish ideal, that of goodness and character, combine with the beauty and culture, which the western races have inherited from the Greeks, to form a single, solid basis upon which to lay the foundations of future greatness...
