Scope and Contents

Nothing else is talked of, thought of, dreamed of, hoped for, wished for, prayed for but the poor old College... The Professors have all resigned. The whole town, "save some few implicated in the atrocious concern," are on the side of virtue. The students were very upset at a rumor that the Visitors plan to suppress their Societies. Many students returned only from attachment to the Societies. The rivalry among Societies is fostered by certain townspeople, who allow only members of a certain Society in their homes. Sally has friends in all groups who visit at the same time. John is busy planning the new wings.
