is a legitimate child. After you have secured
these letters, Miss French will tell you that Charley will be allowed to
see you next Saturday from four till five.

Charley will come and will be ushered into the reception room. While he
is sitting there alone, the entire school will walk slowly, one by
one, past the open door and look in at him. This will cause Charley to
perspire freely and to wish to God he had worn his dark suit.

It is not at all likely that you will be allowed to go to New Haven
during your first year, which is quite a pity, as this city, founded in
1638, is rich in historical interest. It was here, for example, in 1893,
that Yale defeated Harvard at football, and the historic Pigskin which
was used that day is still preserved intact. Many other quaint relics
are to be seen in and around the city of elms, mementos of the past
which bring to the younger generation a knowledge and respect for things
gone. In the month of June, for example, there is really nothing
which quite conjures up for the college youth of today a sense of the
mutability and impermanence of this mortal life so much as the sight of
a member of the class of 1875 after three days' intensive drinking. Eheu
fugaces!

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE ETIQUETTE OF GAMES AND SPORTS

GOLF AS A PASTIME

"Golf" (from an old Scottish word meaning "golf") is becoming
increasingly popular in the United States, and almost every city now
has at least one private club devoted to the pursuit of this stylish
pastime. Indeed, in many of our larger metropolises, the popular
enthusiasm has reached such heights that free "public" courses have been
provided for the citizens with, I may say, somewhat laughable results,
as witness the fact that I myself have often seen persons playing on
these "public" courses in ordinary shirts and trousers, tennis shoes,
