"It is difficult to remain long at Hopkins and escape education. It was we who followed the real tradition of the University: we drank hard, caroused hard, studied hard, and slept little... the goal was to drink the most whiskey, fornicate the most, get the least sleep, and make the highest grades. I, for one, am thankful that studying was part of the sport, because otherwise I shouldn't have bothered with it... "
