...making a bargain for a suit, must specify at the time that he shall not take it unless it fits, otherwise the worthy tailor can bulldoze him into taking it. Let the students be on their guard. We had lived until now in the vain hallucination that such a thing was always implied, but we have been wofully mistaken. Lest any of you may be compelled to take a suit from this mammoth establishment which would fit a person perhaps half your size, or twice your height, be sure to make this stipulation, that the suit shall...

Moreover we think it a very different thing to read before a set of critical judges and before an audience who perhaps are prepossessed in favor of the speaker. Many whom the cold eyes of the judges would disconcert would be roused to their best efforts by an audience of fellow students. Would not this method be more beneficial...
