First
it
was
schools
,
and
Amory
,
alone
from
St.
Regis
'
,
watched
the
crowds
form
and
widen
and
form
again
;
St.
Paul
's
,
Hill
,
Pomfret
,
eating
at
certain
tacitly
reserved
tables
in
Commons
,
dressing
in
their
own
corners
of
the
gymnasium
,
and
drawing
unconsciously
about
them
a
barrier
of
the
slightly
less
important
but
socially
ambitious
to
protect
them
from
the
friendly
,
rather
puzzled
high-school
element
.
From
the
moment
he
realized
this
Amory
resented
social
barriers
as
artificial
distinctions
made
by
the
strong
to
bolster
up
their
weak
retainers
and
keep
out
the
almost
strong
.
Having
decided
to
be
one
of
the
gods
of
the
class
,
he
reported
for
freshman
football
practice
,
but
in
the
second
week
,
playing
quarter-back
,
already
paragraphed
in
corners
of
the
Princetonian
,
he
wrenched
his
knee
seriously
enough
to
put
him
out
for
the
rest
of
the
season
.
This
forced
him
to
retire
and
consider
the
situation
.
"
12
Univee
"
housed
a
dozen
miscellaneous
question-marks
.
There
were
three
or
four
inconspicuous
and
quite
startled
boys
from
Lawrenceville
,
two
amateur
wild
men
from
a
New
York
private
school
(
Kerry
Holiday
christened
them
the
"
plebeian
drunks
"
)
,
a
Jewish
youth
,
also
from
New
York
,
and
,
as
compensation
for
Amory
,
the
two
Holidays
,
to
whom
he
took
an
instant
fancy
.
The
Holidays
were
rumored
twins
,
but
really
the
dark-haired
one
,
Kerry
,
was
a
year
older
than
his
blond
brother
,
Burne
.
Kerry
was
tall
,
with
humorous
gray
eyes
,
and
a
sudden
,
attractive
smile
;
he
became
at
once
the
mentor
of
the
house
,
reaper
of
ears
that
grew
too
high
,
censor
of
conceit
,
vendor
of
rare
,
satirical
humor
.
Amory
spread
the
table
of
their
future
friendship
with
all
his
ideas
of
what
college
should
and
did
mean
.
Kerry
,
not
inclined
as
yet
to
take
things
seriously
,
chided
him
gently
for
being
curious
at
this
inopportune
time
about
the
intricacies
of
the
social
system
,
but
liked
him
and
was
both
interested
and
amused
.
Burne
,
fair-haired
,
silent
,
and
intent
,
appeared
in
the
house
only
as
a
busy
apparition
,
gliding
in
quietly
at
night
and
off
again
in
the
early
morning
to
get
up
his
work
in
the
library
--
he
was
out
for
the
Princetonian
,
competing
furiously
against
forty
others
for
the
coveted
first
place
.
In
December
he
came
down
with
diphtheria
,
and
some
one
else
won
the
competition
,
but
,
returning
to
college
in
February
,
he
dauntlessly
went
after
the
prize
again
.
Necessarily
,
Amory
's
acquaintance
with
him
was
in
the
way
of
three-minute
chats
,
walking
to
and
from
lectures
,
so
he
failed
to
penetrate
Burne
's
one
absorbing
interest
and
find
what
lay
beneath
it
.
Amory
was
far
from
contented
.
He
missed
the
place
he
had
won
at
St.
Regis
'
,
the
being
known
and
admired
,
yet
Princeton
stimulated
him
,
and
there
were
many
things
ahead
calculated
to
arouse
the
Machiavelli
latent
in
him
,
could
he
but
insert
a
wedge
.
The
upper-class
clubs
,
concerning
which
he
had
pumped
a
reluctant
graduate
during
the
previous
summer
,
excited
his
curiosity
:
Ivy
,
detached
and
breathlessly
aristocratic
;
Cottage
,
an
impressive
mélange
of
brilliant
adventurers
and
well-dressed
philanderers
;
Tiger
Inn
,
broad-shouldered
and
athletic
,
vitalized
by
an
honest
elaboration
of
prep-school
standards
;
Cap
and
Gown
,
anti-alcoholic
,
faintly
religious
and
politically
powerful
;
flamboyant
Colonial
;
literary
Quadrangle
;
and
the
dozen
others
,
varying
in
age
and
position
.
Anything
which
brought
an
under
classman
into
too
glaring
a
light
was
labelled
with
the
damning
brand
of
"
running
it
out
.
"
The
movies
thrived
on
caustic
comments
,
but
the
men
who
made
them
were
generally
running
it
out
;
talking
of
clubs
was
running
it
out
;
standing
for
anything
very
strongly
,
as
,
for
instance
,
drinking
parties
or
teetotalling
,
was
running
it
out
;
in
short
,
being
personally
conspicuous
was
not
tolerated
,
and
the
influential
man
was
the
non-committal
man
,
until
at
club
elections
in
sophomore
year
every
one
should
be
sewed
up
in
some
bag
for
the
rest
of
his
college
career
.
Amory
found
that
writing
for
the
Nassau
Literary
Magazine
would
get
him
nothing
,
but
that
being
on
the
board
of
the
Daily
Princetonian
would
get
any
one
a
good
deal
.
His
vague
desire
to
do
immortal
acting
with
the
English
Dramatic
Association
faded
out
when
he
found
that
the
most
ingenious
brains
and
talents
were
concentrated
upon
the
Triangle
Club
,
a
musical
comedy
organization
that
every
year
took
a
great
Christmas
trip
.
In
the
meanwhile
,
feeling
strangely
alone
and
restless
in
Commons
,
with
new
desires
and
ambitions
stirring
in
his
mind
,
he
let
the
first
term
go
by
between
an
envy
of
the
embryo
successes
and
a
puzzled
fretting
with
Kerry
as
to
why
they
were
not
accepted
immediately
among
the
elite
of
the
class
.
