...think it is necessary to speak of more serious things. Someone from Harvard has been sending little epistles to my Tuter here in Wadham. So now I hasten to express my genuine satisfaction of all that is Oxford including the high walls on which are cemented broken beer bottles, the Oxford girls and their black stockings and bicycles, the cold water in the hot showers, the Englishman's nonchalance and the bulls in Christ Church meadow.

The marriage rate drops far below normal in lean years, creating a "reserve" of unmarried people who hasten to the altar as soon as they can afford it.
