It is the duty of every man who is blessed with an opportunity to rest from the sterner duties of life to so cultivate, so use his time that the highest good may result not only to himself, but also to his fellow men. The use of leisure time may be made of so much import to society that its abuse will result in a serious detriment to the character of society.

He was speaking of the proctors; and he said if they were done away with he thought "a good many nice fellows who cheat now would stop."
