ulloyed pleasure as TO his college days. The
world was all before him then, and the world
was fair and bright ana full of roseate
dreams; then, as Thackcray puts it.
Every goose was swan. lad,
Andevery lass queen.
Many a grey beard feels that if It were
possible he would gladly live those days over
again; and many a time amid the care and
ontiict of life he turns to the memoirs of
those earlier days and feels as though
he had inhaled draught from the cool foun-
tains of his happy youth.
And even the young men who have left
thelr college walls but a very short time ago
feel in lesser degree this "home longing"
as Carlyio says, for the associations Of their
college days
