I'm fully confident if Mr. S (wonder whtat that stands for) had tried to pull that stuff on any of our founding classes, dude would have been jumped.

If guys are dropping out of this house, good for them. Making you get up and do this stuff on the day of a midterm is crap. They weren't coerced to do it?

Are there other means to the same end? Definitely.
