...high, work hard, and get all the possible good from the College; others who are simply content to get through, with the fraction of a per cent to spare; others, again, who have no aim at all, judging the future by the past.

Perhaps it is safe to say that much was not expected; for the selection of the committee was at the very best but a leap in the dark, and nobody had any expectation of landing on terra firma.
