...University Hall interrupted the proceedings of the faculty. After the bonfire he changed his vote, and six o'clock prayers were kept another year by a majority of one. On hearing the result he intimated that early rising would keep people out of mischief at night, and he certainly felt that six o'clock prayers would be unpleasant to the makers of the bonfire.

Such vanity of course could not be an individual but a collective vanity, and from the nature of things that is not likely to arise. Besides it cannot but be felt, not oppressively, but modestly, that the students themselves are by far the least interesting of the features of this university. Buildings and apparatus on the one hand and the distinguished men who belong to the teaching body on the other must draw the interest of most observers far more than anything...
