He has to matriculate this year, it's frightfully difficult. But he says that anyone who has cheek enough can get through all right. He says that cheek is often more help than a lot of swoting and grinding. I know he's right; but unfortunately at the moment it never occurs to me what I ought to do. I often think afterwards, you ought to have said this or that.
That was the same year that saw Samuel Rutherford matriculate in the College of Edinburgh. Of young Brodie's early days we know nothing; for, though he has left behind him a full and faithful diary both of his personal and family life, yet, unfortunately, Brodie did not begin to keep that diary till he was well advanced in middle age.
The scholarship had been won by a precocious Etonian with an extraordinary talent for 'stems, and all that appertained thereto. But the exhibition fell to Robert, and mother and son were well content. The boy was eager to come into residence at once, though he would matriculate too late to keep the term.
"I wish," said Denis, "that it was only jocularity on my part; but I solemnly assure you all that it is not. The Bishop told me that I suffered myself to be misled as to my qualifications for entrance; he says it will take a year and a half's hard study to enable me to matriculate with a good grace.
We have sometimes heard consecration stated as though it were a matter of choice whether believers should bind themselves by its obligations or not. When a student enters the university there are certain subjects in which he must matriculate, but there are special ones which he may graduate in or not, as he pleases. Should he refuse them, he is not blamed. The matter was within his option.
Experience is the dearest teacher in the world. Most of us spend our lives in the A-B-C's of getting started. We matriculate in the cradle. We never graduate. When we stop learning we are due for another bump. There are two kinds of people wise people and fools. The fools are the people who think they have graduated. The playground is all of God's universe.
Bennington announced that the slender youngster, who had been so completely estranged from the affairs of the store, must matriculate in the ozone of high altitudes instead of in college, if his life were to be saved. Whether Jack were riding over the mesas of Arizona or playing in a villa garden in Florence, John Wingfield, Sr.'s outlook on life was the same.
"Have you matriculated?" one of the three called after him as he started forward. David had never heard that word; but he entertained such a respect for knowledge that he hated to appear unnecessarily ignorant. "I don't think I have," he observed vaguely. The small eyes of the full moon disappeared altogether this time. "Well, you've got to matriculate, you know," he said.
"Foxy as my hair itself, Mr. Vizard. "Well, I applied to a professor. He received me with profound courtesy and feigned respect, but was staggered at my request to matriculate. He gesticulated and bowed 'a la Francaise, and begged the permission of his foxy-haired invader from Northern climes to consult his colleagues. Would I do him the great honor to call again next day at twelve?
Once again, he stepped backwards towards me from the table, once again he looked at each of the professors in turn and then at myself, once again he smiled faintly, and once again he shrugged his shoulders as much as to say, "It is no use, my good sirs." Then he returned to the desks. Subsequently, I learnt that this was the third year he had vainly attempted to matriculate.
