...names. You say, "Hi, Toughey!" to every one you pass on the street. You know all the professors at least by name. You have definite places to eat your meals, and you can run charge accounts at the restaurants. You are, moreover, as you have been frequently told, a "type". In short, you are a Williams student...
...Harvard "type" is famous, and is usually diagnosed as a complication of broad "a"s, horn-rimmed glasses, and aloofness. Such a generality is no truer than generalities ever are, this one included. We consider it scarcely fair to Williams to term it "a glorified country club", although we admit that the quantity of golf hose in the student laundry is prodigious.

The notion of Elbert Gary suddenly holding up a conference of the Steel Corporation to sing about shamrocks is interesting...
...honors" courses, likewise, is a plea for the development of individual initiative and more advanced investigation; the motive is exactly the same as that of graduate work. The exceptional student however, should be given the opportunity to take "honors" courses. This means the expenditure of more money. The type of man the faculty requires to handle such work is hard to find. Not every teacher is equipped through temperament or training to do it well. If the undergraduate wants "honors" work, he must forego his disparagement of the large university, for the "tutor" and the courses alike have their origin...
