WE TOO REMAINED QUIET AND PEACEFUL ALTHOUGH WE WERE SURROUNDED BY FELLOWS WHO IN THE MAIN WERE VERY DIFFERENTLY DISPOSED AND FROM TIME TO TIME WE EXPERIENCED CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY IN MEETING AND RESISTING THE SOMEWHAT TOO PRESSING ADVANCES OF THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR OWN AGE
 who will be able to guess what I can do no more than suggest, who will supply what I am compelled to omit, and who, above all, need but to be reminded and not taught. Listen, therefore, ladies and gentlemen, while I recount my harmless experience and the less harmless conversation between the two gentlemen whom, so far, I have not named.

It is necessary to have lived through it in order to believe that such careless self-lulling and comfortable indifference to the moment, or to time in general, are possible. In this condition I, and a friend about my own age, spent a year at the University of Bonn on the Rhine,--it was a year which, in its complete lack of plans and projects for the future, seems almost like a dream to me now--a dream framed, as it were, by two periods of growth. OD ONLY TO THOSE AMONG MY AUDIENCE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO GUESS WHAT I CAN DO NO MORE THAN SUGGEST WHO WILL SUPPLY WHAT I AM COMPELLED TO OMIT AND WHO ABOVE ALL NEED BUT TO BE REMINDED NOT TAUGHT LISTEN THEREFORE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WHILE I RECOUNT MY HARMLESS EXPERIENCE AND THE LESS HARMLESS CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE TWO GENTLEMEN WHO SO FAR I HAVE NOT NAMED LET US NOW IMAGINE OURSELVES IN THE POSITION OF A YOUNG STUDENT THAT IS TO SAY IN A POSITION WHICH IN OUR PRESENT AGE OF BEWILDERING MOVEMENT AND FEVERISH EXCITABILITY HAS BECOME AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE ONE IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE LIVED THROUGH IT IN ORDER TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH CARELESS SELF LULLING AND COMFORTABLE INDIFFERENCE TO THE MOMENT OR TO TIME IN GENERAL ARE POSSIBLE IN THIS CONDITION I AND A FRIEND ABOUT MY OWN AGE SPENT A YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BONN ON THE RHINE IT WAS A YEAR WHICH IN ITS COMPLETE LACK OF PLANS AND PROJECTS FOR THE FUTURE SEEMS ALMOST LIKE A DREAM TO ME NOW A DREAM FRAMED AS IT WERE BY TWO PERIODS OF GROWTH
