...grey matter in his head. The people who do this know very well that they could not get away with it at the college that they came from. They do it now because they can, and will, get away with it until the Harvard cheering section feels a little shame and self respect and throws them out in none too gentle a fashion. These individuals who persist in coming into the cheering section where they don't belong, place themselves on par with that low down rabble that infests the wooden stands and puts up such a wonderful exhibition...

It contains a deeply human theme, the contrasting ethics of the East and the West, illustrated by so lively an incident as the desire of the sawbwa's wife for gold teeth, solved so simply and truly by "a little child shall lead them," and withal, told in so conversational fashion which remains literary conversation while it simulates life, that the whole story is lifted into the class...
