[The Red Cross Girl by Richard Harding Davis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Red Cross Girl CHAPTER 2 3/60
The whole college knew that if Peter got in among the eggs he would be lucky, but the professors and instructors of Stillwater 'were determined that, no matter what young Hallowell might do to prevent it, they would see that he passed his examinations.
And they constituted the jury of awards.
Their interest in Peter was not because they loved him so much, but because each loved his own vine-covered cottage, his salary, and his dignified title the more.
And each knew that that one of the faculty who dared to flunk the son of old man Hallowell, who had endowed Stillwater, who supported Stillwater, and who might be expected to go on supporting Stillwater indefinitely, might also at the same time hand in his official resignation. Chancellor Black, the head of Stillwater, was an up-to-date college president.
If he did not actually run after money he went where money was, and it was not his habit to be downright rude to those who possessed it.
