Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tipyn O'bob, Vol. 15: October, 1917 Fresh from a leisurely summer vacation, not yet keyed up even to normal activity, the entering student faces the whirl of College and stands appalled. The problems of the last month are strangely inverted. The high cost of living is as nothing compared with the high speed of life. No longer is the eight-hour day a thing to suffer for - rather it is now insufferable that a day is but twenty-four hours long. Why should precious hours be needed for sleep? [not to mention lectures and prep aration therefore, are there not interviews, try - outs, authorizations, and class - meetings? Must not one eat, must not one dress? Do not indignant families send telegrams asking, Why no letter in two weeks? Does it not take time to condense explanations and apologies into a ten-word reply? But take comfort, oh Freshmen! Soon the hour for the last five minute interview will have passed. Morally, mentally, and physically catalogued, no longer need you stand before unopening doors. Saturday and Sunday will discover themselves to your clarified vision. With time will come leisure - but not so much that you can be wanton therewith. Scraped together, it may suffice to cover a few ying trips to Philadelphia; to afford the reading of a book non-essential to the English course; and, if the gods be supremely good, even to allow the achievement of a friend.
