...pass his examinations. An exceptionally good book relieved for the instructor the monotony of the reading, but brought little recognition for the writer. Now, by means of this list and the Phi Beta Kappa trophy, the spur of an honor, which is not hid under a bushel lends interest even to the ordeal of entrance examinations...
