They constituted the Nation an integer which could never be disintegrated by States' Rights ideas or the assumption of State sovereignty.
"By token of your Virgilian diversions shall I assume that you are a collegian, really or almost?" "Just almost. I'm on my way to Wellesley now." "Ah!" and his exclamation was heavy with meaning. A girl bound for college became immediately an integer with which a young man who had not yet mislaid his diploma could reckon. "I have usually been a supporter of Vassar.
She died a serene integer, with such comfortable assurance of just valuation as is denied most of us, and contented that it should be expressed in terms that were, to her, the only sure criterion applicable to her race. An Incident
