Excerpt from Quadragesimal Record, Class of '75, Princeton University
The melancholy Jacques tells us that All the world's a stage, and narrates the sequence of the distinguishing marks of each age. We have ex perienced most of these ages and now with wise saws and stately precedent we d'iscant on the follies of the present and the virtues of the past. I am not sure but that some of us do not every morning measure our shanks to see if the lean and shrunken pantaloons must come with our next order to the tailor.
