USELESS PREJUDICE
Don't rely too much on prejudice in deciding what certain fellows may or may not be good for. You may or may not be right. Your standard may or may not be the only small stone on the seashore.
ABOUT VISITING
Don't invite everybody you meet to your room. It doesn't pay. But make a point of accepting as many invitations as possible which come from men you like. Visit any upper-classman who takes the trouble to offer you his hospitality. It may help you to get on, later.
THAT HAND-SHAKE
Don't shake hands like a clam. The flipper-shake is not popular, and may make you distrusted. You'll need a good hand-shake all through College.
THE WOMAN QUESTION: THE QUESTIONABLE
Don't be one of those who continually pick up anything on the street that wears a bonnet and high heels. There are lots of girls who are willing, at any time, to be seen with a College man. The varieties differ. Some are genuinely pretty; others wear the deliberate as distinguished from the natural complexion, being perhaps not so well preserved as carefully preserved. Maybe you think it is great fun to take a partner into the small hotel dining-room with an "I-do-this-every-evening" kind of air. But you may find out, after smoking your brandy and drinking your cigarettes, that it isn't pleasant to be played for a "good thing."
THE UNQUESTIONABLE
Don't, however, neglect any opportunity to meet ladies of your own station. You are sure to require their society from time to time. The Monastic life is not profitable for a man at College. The purr of pretty women and the occasional exchange of amicable nothings will preserve your social soul and keep the little blood-pumping organ in good condition.
