The thing of importance is the thorough, sane, and intelligent manner in which these eighteen undergraduates discuss the important questions of the day,--in a style far different from the "oratorical" contests of the Middle West.

Only on one condition may his life be spared,--namely, if the Lady Margaret Silchester consents to be his wife. She, dean thing, consents out of pity, only to be refused by the haughty Godred, who swears that he would rather die than live without "love, love, love...
