Finally, the fly-coach once more received us all, all but poor Blanche, and we looked round and missed her. Alma Mater! Alma Mater! New-fashioned folks, with their large theories of education, may find fault with thee.
Why, Jenkins says you're the best pupil he's ever had. Why didn't you? Don't you like us?" "Of course I do." "The mater says you're married, and married men have no time to bother about other people's kids. Is that true?" "Well, of course there's a lot to be done in London, and I go to business every day." "You've got a kid, haven't you?" "Yes!" "It's a boy, isn't it?" "Yes."

Apparently unconscious of Gilbert's presence, the lady stepped within the recess and knelt before a statue of the Mater Dolorosa; the youth was awed and abashed: he began to consider his daring adventure an unwarrantable intrusion; he meditating kissing the hem of her garment and retiring with all his love unspoken.
"Do you mean you would like to be a laborer's mother, mater, with all sorts of annoying economies to practice, and all sorts of inconveniences to contend with?" "Yes, perhaps I would!" her mother laughed defiantly. "I can see you've had another letter from California," said Cornelia, pleasantly, after a puzzled moment. "You are still a pioneer in spite of the ten generations, mater.
The preamble of the Association makes this clear when it says: "Remembering the benefits we have received from our alma mater, we desire to extend the helpful associations of student life, and to maintain such relations to the college that we may efficiently aid in her upbuilding and strengthening, to the end that her usefulness may continually increase."
