...Harvard, in its quest for excellence, is caught between two contradictory impulses. The College would like to avoid the pain, for the school and the applicant, that comes from rejecting a well-qualified boy; and the present system cannot handle many more candidates in a single year. But at the same time, Harvard is committed, to itself and to its tradition, to leave no place unvisited in its search for the unusual and talented applicant...

Living Book. Naturally, Ionides is a living book of knowledge on the ways of the snake. A spitting cobra spits in one's eye. Ionides was temporarily blinded and in pain for two days. Love among the serpents is pretty snaky. Rival males get all intertwined in a knot. "Nobody knows how the winner wins, or why," but the suitors are good sports-they never bite each other.
