Recommended*...............................

 


I'm anxious that you should be a good scholar, but I'm more anxious that you should be a good clean man.  And if you graduate with a sound conscience, I shan't care so much if there are a few holes in your Latin.  There are two parts to a college education—the part that you get in the schoolroom from the professors, and the part that you get outsideof it from the boys.  That's the really important part.  For the first can only make you a scholar, while the second can only make you a man.

*Ed. Note:  This book contains letters supposedly written in the 1890s.  As such some readers may find the attitudes and mores of that time different and difficult.
