...which used to exist among classmates has grown so out of date. Nowadays, we dislike, or, at any rate, are indifferent to, nine men out of ten.

Threats and entreaties hitherto have been equally useless; "the windows cannot be opened during meal-time without making too great a draught," or "the hall has been sufficiently ventilated in the morning." We are not rash, but if something is not done soon...
