...colleges thus treat their members, and the members so regard themselves. The difficulty, however, in this remedy lies in the fact that cases of hazing may be perpetrated night after night and yet remain unknown to the officers of the law.

...long time, I wished to confront Miss Ffrench. I no longer have that desire. If by any possibility I could come face to face with her, I should forego the pleasure; for I should certainly detect the mechanical apparatus of her existence. Detection would be death to her, and my conscience would then charge me with murder; for, though she is not life, Miss Ffrench is wonderfully life-like. - Vassar Miscellany...
