I have not seen the author but once since the old university days, when he lectured us and pruned us and advised us and did us more good than almost any other instructor we ever had.

Oh, those were grand days! No better than the present, for life grows brighter to me all the time; but we shall not forget the quaint, strong, brusque professor who so unceremoniously smashed things which he did not like, and shook, the class with merriment or indignation.

The widest awake professorial room in the land was Dr.Henry's, in the New York University.
But the participators in those scenes are all scattered.

I know the whereabouts of but three or four.

So we meet for a little while on earth, and then we separate.
