...what I had written months earlier." Since the book was written in "a feeling of communion. . . with the chief officers of Grayson Kirk's administration," it might be looked on as a document of that crisis.

But there is a gulf in severity between probation and suspension: one restricts a student's activities for a term, the other excludes him from the community and subjects him to the draft--hardly an analogy to giving a bank robber who is a second offender an extra year or two in jail.
