...such delusions. The unsolicited halo which in the past has surrounded the House and the men who have had interests there is being worn off a little more each year and the tendency to shy at any object or being associated with Brooks House is no longer evident.

They took up their new work with the keenest interest and enthusiasm, and it would be a pity to lose them now from one of the most important of all the Faculty committees...
