...come in as special student. Since that, our whole nine has become professional. "That fellow," pointing to a particularly villanous-looking specimen of the plug ugly, "is Mike Rooney the shortstop." I waited to hear no more, but turned and left the building. What I saw in the Yard and in Sever Hall I will reserve for another letter...
