...student must take care not to betray his calling in the street if he would be safe from occasional maltreatment at the hands of coach-drivers and laborers. Excluded as he is from good society, and confined to that of his associates, poverty-stricken, neglected, despised, he is yet fond of life and enterprise, proud of his slender knowledge, and full of contempt for the blunders of the government. From his obscure corner he looks at everything with a hostile eye, and his opposition to the state and society becomes more pronounced with every new revolutionary rising and Nihilistic attempt...

Through some unknown source these conspirators got wind of the possession of a quantity of peanuts by the aforementioned freshman - a parting gift from a fond mother or perhaps a sweetheart, as full of hope and trusting courage the youth set out to win his way in college.

And although the previous practice of the nine may not have warranted him in feeling secure of victory, still that was no excuse for his not putting in an appearance...
...glad to notice that in many of the leading colleges of America there is a growing opposition to the introduction of co-education, to the trial of an experiment that has failed, failed most dismally in almost every instance. The American people are so fond of novelty and so anxious to "give everything a fair show," that it seemed for a while as if this feeble fancy would be supplied with enough vitality to force for itself a position from which it would have been difficult, or even impossible to remove it. But the recent sensible and far-sighted conduct...
