And America's fond tolerance of collegiatism, if its cause were removed, might bring psychological chaos in its wake. Moreover, it is believed that through John Held alone do youth and age alike recollect emotion in tranquility. To prevent the catastrophic shock of sudden vanishing, as well as for auld lang syne, haven was furnished collegiatism--in the back pages of Judge...
