...cold as an ordinary ghost; on the contrary, it is very amiable and warm and merry, and improves on acquaintance. Nor does Scrooge's ghost come slyly down the chimney and pass on like a shadow, for after all it wants to make friends and is always ready to go more than half way in doing so. And it always feels that it has a particular claim on the Yule-tide season...
There is little question that college requirements contain so many prescriptions for admission--and no two of them are alike in this respect--that a student who finds late in his course that he can go to college may not be able to go where he wishes, owing to a difference in his school course from that outlined by the college.

He is willing even that they disclose themselves and imply their own backgrounds. Oftener, however, the higher technique that would have saved him from some of his confusions and changes of key, for example, and that each man must learn for himself in his chosen profession, evades...
