“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
