"He scarcely speaks even to me, his foster-father!" "But I am likewise his foster-father," said the old man. "If your wife was his foster-mother, I fed him myself with the milk of the Muses. He is my nursling, my child, carus alumnus! I formed his mind, cultivated his understanding, developed his genius, and, I venture to say it, to my own honor and glory.
"Well, that's all, except that I'm going down to Bellevue, and if one or two of you want to come perhaps old Hoddy will know us even this late." Middleton had finished. From various parts of the room came the words: "I'll go! Let me go!" Men were frankly wiping their eyes. At a distant table arose Martin Delano. He was reputed to be the wealthiest alumnus of Huntington.
"Our distinguished alumnus," after being duly presented as such, had with vivacity delivered much the usual sort of Commencement Address. Yet John Charteris was in reality a trifle fagged. The afternoon train had been vexatiously late. The little novelist had found it tedious to interchange inanities with the committee awaiting him at the Pullman steps.
Nice fodder for a loyal alumnus eleven hundred and then some miles from home, isn't it?

Because he had taken so long to get through the University himself, he constantly magnified the place in his conversation, partly to excuse his own slowness in getting through it, partly that the greater glory might redound on him who had conquered it at last, and issued from its portals a fat and prosperous alumnus.
"Why, yes," J.W. answered, "it might. You know I used to go with the bunch to Saint Marks when Brother Officer was pastor, but I haven't been since he left. I'd like to see what the new preacher is doing, and it ought to be worth something to hear a Negro alumnus of Yale."
