...agree with. There are undoubtedly cases where the freedom of college life does unfit men for business; there is even such a thing as the "university fool" who is unfitted for everything.

She was far too cautious considering the seriousness of the situation. More reckless dash and head-long impetuosity were the qualities which the occasion demanded, but Harvard had no captain to rally her men and infuse into them this winning spirit. A great mistake...
