What will 4 University Hall be without Dean Greenough? Already the question is on a thousand lips. He has so entrenched himself in the esteem and affections of the students that they do not feel they can let him go, even for a few months.
To the uninitiated, "dean" is a formidable word. The Freshman thinks "dean" is an instrument of torture which survived the Spanish Inquisition. And, as sometimes happens, even in the best regulated student-families, a summess to the dean's office causes an unpleasant sensation.

Intended to inspire promptness, it may inspire awe and cause weak hearts to quake with a vague dread of impending calamity. If there is any such uncertainty in a student's mind it is always dispelled by the courtesy and sympathy with which Dean Greenough makes every student feel that broad justice will be done.
