Princeton is a wonderful little spot, a quaint and ceremonious village of puny demigods on stilts... Here the people who compose what is called "society" enjoy even less freedom than their counterparts in Europe. Yet they seem unaware of this restriction, since their way of life tends to inhibit personality development from childhood.

The men--the undergraduates of Yale and Princeton--are cleaner, healthier, better-looking, better dressed, wealthier and more attractive than any undergraduate body in the country.
