Rh, are no more. We are cosmopolitans while we eat and sleep. We are out of reach of temptations to stolen visits to a chum's room, or midnight spreads whose greatest charm is that they are out of order. Inspection, "lights out," or such annoyances we are happily free from. The students have their rooms and boarding-houses all over the city wherever they may choose. The freedom, the comfort, and quiet of this fashion are soon appreciated by one who has lodged in a large building with fifty or sixty other students.

The Campus, or play-ground, is several miles off, on the grounds of Clifton, the estate of the founder of the university. This makes a quiet game, or an athletic match, somewhat like a picnic, a matter of a half-holiday. The half-hours or hours of exercise so necessary to the studious are passed in the gymnasium, after which those so inclined stroll out to the Parks or drop in at the libraries. Another feature that the visitor here does not find is a university periodical. The college newspaper or literary weekly has no existence.

There is no division of matriculates into Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The scope of privileges and strifes based on such a division is narrowed to a poor margin of differences so little emphasized as to furnish no comfort to even self-asserting superiority. The matriculate courses of study are marked out for three years, and when the student is ready to be examined, and try for his degree, he is free to do so. Class jealousies and impositions are unknown. There is no approach to hazing or the terror of forced speeches at the dead of night. So far as the present writer has been able to discover, there is no working chapter of any secret fraternity here. There are no rival debating or literary societies, hotbeds of enthusiasm, where the frenzied young speakers may defy and deify one another. There is, however, one very flourishing literary organization, called the Hopkins House of Commons, in which "bills" embodying various principles and public questions are passed under consideration according to the strictest parliamentary processes. The public session of this body in Hopkins Hall about once a year is a great treat to both university members and the general public.

Much as we may at first miss certain representative features of average American college life, we soon accommodate ourselves to our surroundings, and are easily taught the lesson for which we come here. Between the governing and the governed there is no worry of police surveillance. One great source of enthusiasm lies in our community of interest. The student has an open field and the free year to develop himself by whatever proportion of work and recreation he may allow himself. He is a visitor made welcome in the city, to enrich himself by the treasures of a corporate bureau which is enthusiastically concerned that his stay shall be profitable and pleasant. And all the forces of the city seem to co-operate in the design.

One great power of appeal playing between teachers and students is exercised through the "advisers." Each matriculate is expected to designate one of his professors whom he will consider his adviser while at the university. The professor is to be consulted by the student as a personal friend and guide, whom he will find to be interested in all
