The Eternal Freshman naturally appears again on every page, setting up housekeeping once more with the help of all the family, reflecting on life in general, introduced to the Dean by Mamma's thoughtful letter. The Office again has the centre of the stage, showing faces old and new. Again we are compelled to loiter By the Way and perhaps to wonder it Lampy...
