...preparatory school in the East comes into an entirely different atmosphere and entirely different surroundings from those which he is used to. He is apt to misinterpret the conservatism which he finds here as a rank lack of interest. This is more or less of a disadvantage to Western men, but a disadvantage entirely due to a misunderstanding. The advantages are many. Besides the well-recognized advantages which are open to everyone, the Westerner has the advantage of being in a new and different situation, so he very naturally looks at things from quite a different standpoint than does...

Our vacations are far too short to make it worth while for many westerners to go home, and the refusal last Christmas to grant the usual time allowance added a new grievance. It is by little matters of this sort that we have obtained a reputation west of here not wholly deserved by any means-for being an inhospitable...
