Exceptions occur, and yet perhaps the larger part of the leading fifth of most classes are from schools of no general reputation...
...nuisance of daily calls from venders of every imaginable commodity of the slightest use to students is growing very disagreeable. The following manifesto is posted prominently on the outer door of one man whose patience has been exhausted beyond measure...
