Proudly she tells of their conduct when the University exchanged the square, muddy brown trays for the new circular platters. Although complaining that the new trays were too shallow, the freshmen never uttered a swear word, she says, not even a "damn." "These boys are gentlemen through and through."

Not until he rides in an escalator into a profusion of bars, restaurants and pari-mutuel windows does the visitor get a glimpse of the track itself, which is framed by hedges of Australian pine and bougainvillaea.
