SORTING OUT YOUR INTERESTS
Don't be surprised or disappointed, if you find you have neither time nor inclination to keep up with everything you thought you would, when first coming to College. Your interests naturally needed a sorting out.
ONE WAY NOT TO MAKE A TEAM
Don't think that offering suggestions to an athletic Coach is the way to make a team. And don't answer back if the Coach speaks harshly to you; be thankful for any of his attention, even if it be gruff. With some Coaches, swearing is more than a liberal art; many think that the oftener they send their men to Hell during practice, the surer they are of sending them to Victory in the contest.
ABOUT SOCIAL CLUBS
Don't, for Heaven's sake, ask people how one ought to go about getting into Social clubs. It isn't considered polite. Just why, I can't tell you; but you'll learn why, some day, if you are the right sort.
DONT ANSWER BACK IF THE COACH SPEAKS HARSHLY TO YOU
ACQUAINTANCES AND FRIENDS
Don't hesitate to accept all chances for making friends, especially among your Class. Don't think that you can always control the making of friends; you can't. Friends are Heaven-sent. Hold the ones you make, and count yourself lucky if you make half a dozen very good friends your first year. There is a difference between acquaintances and friends, by the way, just as there is a difference between fellows to whom you'd casually offer a cigarette and those to whom you'd gladly offer your pocket-book.
