...exclusionist club system has created this strange situation, by which all the Wilson radicals are herded up to Wilcox Hall to grow angry with the Princeton way of life and yet let their own Society become insular.

His clear duty is to go on working for his President and to make le hot dog; to cover everything with la catchup and forget sauce béchamel and quiches Lorraine for the duration.
