It's not often he brings out his first editions for a visitor." They talked of books for a moment, while the children listened.

Then Bassett recurred to the fact, already elicited, that Harwood was a Yale man, whereupon colleges were discussed.
"Many of our small fresh-water colleges do excellent work," remarked Bassett.

"Some educator has explained the difference between large and small colleges by saying that in the large one the boy goes through more college, but in the small one more college goes through the boy.

Of course I'm not implying, Mr.Harwood, that that was true in your case." "Oh, I'm not sensitive about that, Mr.Bassett.And I beg not to be taken as an example of what Yale does for her students.

Some of the smaller colleges stand for the best things; there's Madison College, here in our own state--its standards are severely high, and the place itself has quality, atmosphere--you feel, even as a casual visitor, that it's the real thing." "So I've always heard," remarked Mrs.Bassett.
