...that pours through Memorial Hall for the first time every September, a mass that beneath the conglomerate look of be-wilderment already contains the seeds of its own division. Groups of Freshmen filter through--some alone and distant, some bred in the suburbs of Boston, some marked with the imprint of New England's boarding schools.
