"Piety, charity, and hospitality', have become through the influence of the House my watchwords and motto throughout my life.

The author is most surprisingly correct when he says, "Meeting other men, knowing them, and their ideals, making life-long friends, are truly as important as "booklearning." But if freshmen, who were known to be of necessity working over the evening dinner hour, were allowed compensation for the meals they missed, how much of the much-vaunted fraternizing would be lost?
