"Students today are much more alike than they were. . . . They wear the same kind of caps, the same cut of trousers, the same variety of 'slickers' and coonskin overcoats -- they talk the same slang and have much the same easy air of knowing the world. You may tell a collegian today whenever you meet him".
-- cited from Eight O'Clock Chapel, 1927, by "two elderly professors", in The American College and the Culture of Aspiration, David Levine, 1988, p. 122.
