...college has its Grand Old Man, its patriarch. So necessary is he as an object of veneration, as an oracle, as a figure about whom to swap reunion anecdotes, that if a college did not have a patriarch it would soon invent one.

Incidentally, he also shows considerable skill in avoiding the artificial introduction...
