It is, perhaps, unfortunate the University contains a class of preparatory students of the age in which the cerebellum has an immense advantage over the cerebrum. Such boys must "cut up." They can't behave for two reasons. First they don't know how; secondly they wouldn't use their knowledge if they did. These fellows as a usual thing can't discriminate between mean "sneakingness" and fun. Indeed the latter can scarcely exist for them unless a little of the former is mingled with it. Their last exploit is known to all and it is hardly safe for them to continue their investigations farther in that direction. Boys, have a little common decency and behave yourselves in the future.
