There I learned to love my country and respect the manhood and efficiency of the Army officers in a better way than I did before. I recall the seasons I have spent there with gratitude and affection, both for the friends I have made and for the Army spirit." Siding with the Navy has enabled me to know West Point's strength.
But who's 'quite independent, and in what sense is the term used? that point's not yet settled. Does the expression apply more particularly to the young lady my mother has adopted, or does it characterise her sisters equally? and is it used in a moral or in a financial sense?
"How it straightens things out and blows away one's vapours anything that's done!" said Nick; while his companion exclaimed blandly and affectionately: "The dear old thing!" "The great point's to do something, instead of muddling and questioning; and, by Jove, it makes me want to!" "Want to build a cathedral?" Nash inquired. "Yes, just that." "It's you who puzzle me then, my dear fellow.
'Heroes are much the same, the point's agreed, From Macedonia's madman to the Swede; The whole strange purpose of their lives to find, Or make, an enemy of all mankind!

Army rooters were now sure that West Point's star pitcher had been found at last, and that Lehigh would have rare luck to score again today.
