...prominent for those who for some reason or other spend their vacation at Harvard. It is well known that during July and August the Yard becomes a very happy hunting ground for local Dianas and it is common knowledge that their presence makes it a watering-place for willing prey. Fun and games relieve the long six-week term for some, and probably account for the greater popularity of co-educational summer sessions...
...Vridar was constantly being forced into fights. Always frightened, when it came to the point he went berserk with despair, usually rushed his startled opponent off his feet. Then, just when life was getting a little easier, girls came into the picture. Painfully shy and equally susceptible, Vridar fell prey to another set of bullies. The story leaves him still in his teens, in the comic-tragic age, haunted by the chimeras of Sin and Nobility. Between the two Vridar had a bad time, nearly went insane with brooding.

There is a long and not too honorable history behind Shepherd Hall. Purchased in 1918 from a boarding house proprietress, it has become the home of the Naval Science Department, and the enforced repository for twenty-five dropped Freshmen. A veritable fire-trap, a prey to the first strong wind that blows, the wooden edifice of Shepherd is in shameful contrast to a group of buildings which includes Dunster, Lowell, and Eliot Houses. The University has recognized these facts for years, yet has pursued only a patch-work policy, just effective enough to hush condemnation proceedings...
