The weather is generally the <i>only</i> thing about a College Town not yet educated. Of course, if you happen to have come from Lapland or Patagonia, and do not know what good weather is, the weather here <i>may</i> suit you. The oldest inhabitants in a College Town live to be very old; this is to be accounted for by the fact that they are kept<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</SPAN></span> alive by their curiosity to see <i>what</i> kind of weather is going to develop next.</p> <div class="sidenote">THE COLLEGE SIGHTS</div> <p><i>Don't</i> forget that sight-seeing relatives and others coming on a visit to the College, <i>must</i> see the Library, the Gymnasium, the Dining Hall, and the Athletic Field. These, and the Campus, are generally all the sights there are. It is well to get this list carefully in mind <i>early</i>, as it saves you from a panic at the last minute. You often think that you will explore the place and get something <i>new</i> to show people; but this you never do. The above list is a fairly accurate one, and it suffices. Those whom you are guiding about always pretend they are <i>dreadfully</i> interested and excited about every thing in turn. On your first trip as official guide, you yourself see a great deal; on your fiftieth, you try <i>not</i> to.</p> <div class="figcenter"> <ANTIMG src="images/i_002a.png" width-obs="368" height-obs="600" alt="" /> <span class="caption">THE WEATHER IS GENERALLY THE <i>ONLY</i> THING ABOUT A COLLEGE TOWN NOT YET EDUCATED</span></div> <hr class="chap" /><p><span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</SPAN></span></p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
