...parietal resources of Harvard. Could they see what these buildings contain, they would certainly find much more to interest them than any outside view could give. A very common belief is that college men care little about their rooms, and caring little do little to make them pleasant and artistic. The belief is certainly false. The money and trouble spent by college men on their rooms is no small sum. Some spend thousands in this way, some hundreds, some fifties, and some only tens; but almost every man, we may be sure, spends all that he can afford. Of course...

...illustrious founder, what think you? an '88 plug hat! I hastened to relieve the good man from such a humiliating and embrassing position, and appropriate for my private store one more trophy. This act made me feel very virtuous, and when I went to sleep that night I dreamed pleasant dreams, of Freshmen coming to my room and gazing with fear and a we upon the trophies on the wall, and then with many an excuse for their intrusion, hastily withdrawing...
