Excerpt from A Father to His Son: A Letter to an Undergraduate Upon His Entering College

My Dear Son: I am writing a few things I meant to say to you when we took our last walk together, the day before you left for Yale. I intended to say them then, and I will even confess that I shamelessly inveigled you into taking a stroll on the quiet street that I might rehearse a carefully prepared bit of Chesterfield up-to-date, but somehow I could not seem to begin, - and, after all, perhaps I can write what was in my mind more freely and plainly than I could have spoken it.
