...undergraduates below the age of reason recall the glorious four-sided clock of golden arms that once perched atop Memorial Hall. Destroyed in a fire over two years ago, only a faint echo of its booming voice is heard to remind Harvard of a time when men of high degree and low measured their affairs by its authority...
...patriotic (and profitable) alternative to packing British subdebs off to Paris to learn the graces. Ever since, socialites have installed their daughters at Mrs. O'Mahony's small Queen's Gate town house, whose front hall contains a collection of white china swans "to remind the girls of what they are expected to become." Their guiding light: "That our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace" (Psalms 144:12). For such polish, Mrs. O'Mahony's fee is an abrasive $1,325 a year.

Said one recent graduate: "We loved to remind each other that our average IQ approached the threshold of genius." Most Oberlin people go on to graduate school, do especially well in the sciences. Equalitarian Oberlin bans automobiles, and although almost every student pedals a bicycle, the hot spots of Cleveland-and Elyria-are out of effective range. But high spirits burst out, sometimes beerily. Night climbing expeditions have...
