Excerpt from My College Days: The Autobiography of an Old Student A dear personal friend and fellow-student bequeathed to the Editor of these pages a series of Autobiographical Notes, for publication, if they were considered worthy of such publicity. The conditions attached to the ms. Were as follows I desire that, should he agree to publish these reminiscences, he will exercise his discre tion in adding to or taking from the different chapters. Anything considered objectionable is to be deleted. Further, I enjoin him on no account whatever to divulge or otherwise hint at the name of the author of these pages. Should I seem to have spoken satirically of any one, I beg to assure him that every word has been written in good part and with no intention to offend. In carrying out these instructions, the Editor has re arranged one or two chapters, cut out a few paragraphs, and added some explanatory sentences here and there. He has also prefixed the poetical mottoes to each chap ter. As the volume will explain itself, he does not con sider it necessary to add more.
