Mordance Hall is owned by Richard Pride, who suffers from a mania for vicarious adventure.

The most direct solution of this unstable welter of statistics would be found in an analysis of the influences which determine the vagaries of the undergraduate mind at that delicate period which follows the Freshman and precedes the Sophomore year...
