...this tirade against their chosen arbitrator. Student sentiments are far more inclined to trust the judgment of a body which represents the thought of the College in preference to the fantastic mudslinging of two irreconcilable. The Council, and this in accord with the great majority of the College, has spoken only after a minute examination of the problem. The matter, therefore, is closed. Let it fall to the unknelled tomb it so rightfully deserves...

At Stanford University off & on for six years, he treated it as a sort of public library where he read only what took his fancy: physics, biology, philosophy, history.
