...undergraduate's time is dedicated to respite from labor. Beautiful dormitories, recitation halls, libraries, and athletic fields, while they afford a certain amount of pleasure, they do not in any way appease a certain desire in every human being to get away from things, to go where the roar of the work-a-day world can be heard no more. No matter what diversions are planned for in the "new life" at Yale, it will not be possible to make young men 100 per cent content with a "city college."

Quickly the monster lost its symmetry, split up into 101 separate hydroplane, outboard and runabout motor boats. In its roar the drone of individual engines could be distinguished. In the boats, bouncing on the floorboards in their padded driving suits, clutching their wheels with one hand while with the other they tuned their engines, could be seen the pilots, the ablest outboard and runabout "bugs" in the country, off again...
