An enlightening description of Harvard has been written by one who has, apparently, never been there. According to "Time", estimable weekly news magazine, in its description of the demonstration at the Law School following the election of Dean Roscoe Pound to the Presidency of the University of Wisconsin, Harvard law students wear ear-tabs when it is cold: Harvard law students are "worried and weasel-faced"; Harvard law students when they cheer, say "Yeah!"
The description in all its vividness is reprinted from "Time" below:

Seven hundred idle, able, rowdy, snobbish, gay, amused, determined, casual, dismal Harvard lads (as motley as only as assembly of U. S. students can be) stared up at a window in Langdell Hall.
