The college student is a being of iniinitely complex and swiftly shifting phases which external description is powerless to catch and reproduce. The only way to portray his deeper nature is to place him in intimate and confidential relations and let him give himself away. This kinetoscopic picture is presented in the hope that it may assure over-anxious parents that not every aberration of their sons is either final or fatal: persuade critics of college administration that our problem is not so simple as they seem to think: and inspire the public with the conviction, cherished by every college officer, that college students, with all their faults and follies, are the best fellows in the world ;and that notwithstanding much crude speculation about things human, and some honest scepticism concerning things divine, the great social institutions of family and industry and church and state may be safely intrusted to their true hearts and generous hands. This sketch was drawn for the University Club of Buffalo in response to a request for something which would show the graduate the inner life of the college of to-day. Under the title His College Life, it was published in Scrihners Magazine for June, 1896, and it is through the kind courtesy of Charles Scribner s Sons that it appears in its present form.
