Night before he had bumped into an old acquaintance, also named Smith, had spent a queer evening with him. Smith II, though rich beyond avarice's dreams, though magnetic to women, was also, it appeared, contemplating suicide. Smith I was too intent on his own plans to pay much attention to him. Next morning he methodically carried them out; but just when he was about to take the fatal step a storm struck, and instinctively he tried to save the boat.

This is of course, subject to qualifications: many are the active Professors and intent scholars who make excellent Tutors, and no man can be expected to concentrate entirely on Tutorial work. But there is justice in the assertion that the average run of Tutors can be definitely improved. Broadly speaking, an improvement in the quality of tutors is definitely dependent on an increase...
