Sinopsis
Excerpt from Quadragesimal Record, Class of '75, Princeton University
The melancholy Jacques tells us that All the world's a stage, and narrates the sequence of the distinguishing marks of each age. We have ex perienced most of these ages and now with wise saws and stately precedent we d'iscant on the follies of the present and the virtues of the past. I am not sure but that some of us do not every morning measure our shanks to see if the lean and shrunken pantaloons must come with our next order to the tailor.

Excerpt from Quadragesimal Record, Class of '75, Princeton University
The boundless ambition of youth does not recognize the possibility of failure, but we have measured the depth and breadth of that delusion. Fortunately with the flowing years comes a beneficent benumbing semi anaesthesia to soften the disappointments of unsatisfied ambition and to blur the sharpness of the outlines of the great structure of unrealized hopes that those same years have built for us, and so protect the soul hardened by the "outrageous slings of adverse fortune," that it no longer responds easily to new insults but apparently braves every storm with smiling lips. As we go deeper down the decline nature kindly misinterprets to us the signs that erstwhile we could read clearly.
The melancholy Jacques tells us that "All the world's a stage," and narrates the sequence of the distinguishing marks of each age. We have experienced most of these ages and now with "wise saws and stately precedent" we discant on the follies of the present and the virtues of the past. I am not sure but that some of us do not every morning measure our shanks to see if the lean and shrunken pantaloons must come with our next order to the tailor.
