One Yale student spent $11,000 in a single year, and Harvard could easily produce his parallel. But when all has been said in dispraise of this tendency of college life, its democracy can be alleged as a poseession unique in America, not to be duplicated in any other community. Nowhere else is a man of humble parent- age treated with so much fraternal consideration. No- whero else does the $11,000 man rank socially with the men who has nothing. thing different in summer.

At the mess table, for example, ‘soupy, soupy, soup, without a ingle bean’ and hard tack.
