Cambridge Etiquette
CAMBRIDGE etiquette has been very happily caricatured by the following
anecdote. A gownsman, one day walking along the banks of the Cam,
observing a luckless son of his Alma Mater in the agonies of drowning,
What a pity, he exclaimed, that I have not had the honor of being
introduced to the gentleman; I might have saved him; and walked on,
leaving the poor fellow to his fate.
