...does not seem probable that our English fellow students, with no more knowledge at the start, can acquire more learning, in a shorter time and with no harder work than we. Besides the possibility that their arts students have acquired in that time, some professional learning (for which we have to go to our Medical, Law, or Divinity schools) does not raise the standard of their arts degree in comparison with ours...
...have noticed two classes of individuals which these trying times produce, who ought to be ostracised by their fellow men, and, as it were, withered in the bud.

A fellow need not necessarily confine himself to Adirondack deer hunts and the like; but almost any ordinary series of events may be idealized into something worth printing. We must take out of the mass of ephemeral, and comparatively insignificant happenings, the things lasting and significant. In other words, we must put into our work the touches of nature which make our characters alive, and not cunningly painted figures...
