Next came in a gentleman who was worn nigh unto death by over-work. He was a Professor, and said: "Young man, your project is laudable. If you maintain a gentlemanly tone towards the authorities, and admit no carping criticism of our conduct, the whole Faculty will be glad to write for your paper. I present you with an article on 'The Need of Additional Endowment for our Professorships...

Every one knows that this is one of the seasons which are sure to come every three or four years, when the crew is composed, for the most part, of new men, and when there is all the more reason why their training should be most carefully looked after.
