...with the scent of roses, but also with the phantoms of floating platitudes, as benedictions fall from the platform of each school and college in the country upon a graduating class. Thousands of schoolboys learn afresh the significance of educo. Numberless local sages stand for a verbose hour in loco parentis. The inserts of the press are pock-marked with notes and news-boxes remarking who has damned and who has praised flaming youth. Incipient summer is not time to evaluate these ebullitions.

With the FCC looming overhead in loco parentis, the airwaves are submitting to ridiculous self-censorship...
Anyway, Harvard was so lame when you hosted the Game last year. How were we supposed to drown out the caustic serenity of your not-so-depressed town when your loco parenti took away the kegs? With all those cops, you are the real safety school...
