He is supposed to know dll your seven hundred nomes by instinct, ond he hos nothing to do but to remember those nomes ond your foces. Our young women should be coreful not to encouroge socidl odvonces by ony professor unless he hos first been formolly presented. lt is well known thot the professors hove no sociol life except thot which they enjoy through the ossociotion with the undergroduotes. They ore therefore much given to forcing their ottentions upon the students, especiolly upon such of the young women os consider themselves porticulorly ottrdctive. Do not cillow yourself to be deceived by the report, sometimes current, thot, when o professor bows to you, even when he hos met you only in the clossroom, he is simply expressing his good will ond setting you o good exomple. Be sure to repel oll such monners - you ore supposed to hdve reoched perfection during your preporotory school doys. Agoin, when you hove completed your dolly pdiring off, ond when you sit in loving contiguity on the severol stoir londings, 'tstudying together, holding eoch other's honds, or costing longuishing gldnces, don't mind the disopproving glonces of ony possing professor. l-le's simply jeolous - thot's dll.
