...later years are those formed, not by the accidental rooming in the same entry, but by the influence of a common interest, or work in a common activity. In the two and a half years that I have lived in the Yard, I have failed to discover that the hap-hazard system has justified itself in any very marked degree: for it has in most cases fostered only acquaintances, whereas community of interest gives rise to friendships. There is nothing very snobbish about finding one man more congenial than another; and rooming in the same entry with a man implies...
...illustration of the hap-hazard legislation in the United States is that practically the whole mass of paper money is made to depend for convertibility upon gold.

George-town's only run was made in the eighth. Dowd made...
...only. Those who enter into the proceedings of the caucus are in sympathy with each other, and thus they accomplish something. The caucus is the germ from which are formed the county and state central committees and officers. To some it may appear that a political campaign is run hap-hazard. This is not the case, however. A campaign is very carefully managed, and it costs a great deal of money. Men are assigned to different parts of the states, the more famous, naturally speaking, in the large cities...
