I miss you--even more than I thought I should. The term is young, and
you can enter for Spanish, or Psychology, or something. There's nothing for
you up there. The bishop can spare you. Your father will be reasonable. We
can easily arrange some suitable quarters..."
And we await a reply from "Dear Arthur"--the fifth and last of our little

_COPE IS CONSIDERED_
A few days after the mathematical tea, Basil Randolph was taking a sedate
walk among the exotic elms and the indigenous oaks of the campus; he was on
his way to the office of the University registrar. He felt interested in
Bertram Cope and meant to consult the authorities. That is to say, he
intended to consult the written and printed data provided by the
authorities,--not to make verbal inquiries of any of the college officials
themselves. He was, after all, sufficiently in the academic tradition to
prefer the consultation of records as against the employment of _viva voce_
methods; and he saw no reason why his new interest should be widely
communicated to other individuals.
