...would be a waste of time and space. Our readers understand clearly enough that questions as to courtesy and gentlemanlike treatment cannot be settled by any amount of writing. They understand, also, only too well the reception which our Nines and Teams generally receive at New Haven. Yale undergraduates seem to lack the faintest idea of what hospitality is, and we have no desire to undertake the hopeless task of teaching them...
...short, the rules of action approved by the Advocate and adhered to by the Pudding seem to be about as follows: See that your own society is larger than any of the others, with members united as to their course of action, and that outside bodies are divided as to what they should do; then, if these latter begin to recognize that there are claims, although coming from beyond the limits of each one's own society, which are worthy of their consideration, if they begin to show a kindly and proper regard for each other's rights...

But choose pictures that are worth looking at, and at the same time are within the very limited comprehension of the ordinary student. You don't want to seem a prig, nor yet a vulgarian. I should advise you to avoid shingles, for everybody has them; and men who have not taste enough to choose anything better hang them up in place of pictures. Medals, however, are pretty, and the ribbons give a warm color to a wall that nothing else...
