The freshmen, in their exclusiveness, do not seem to wish to mingle with classmates outside their own clique. Come...
...number grows to 100. Not satisfied with this, writer adds element after element until he builds up a result that might well cause the reader to cry out in astonishment. He generalizes unfairly from the actions of a very few men. He speaks of the general extravagance of the social clubs of the college; he charges college men with ungentlemanly conduct in the cars and on the streets. We appeal to all who have had experience in the management of college societies, or who have had the opportunity to observe the habits of students generally to support...
