4th February Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,
Jimmie McBride has sent me a Princeton banner as big as one end of the room; I am very grateful to him for remembering me, but I don't know what on earth to do with it. Sallie and Julia won't let me hang it up; our room this year is furnished in red, and you can imagine what an effect we'd have if I added orange and black. But it's such nice, warm, thick felt, I hate to waste it. Would it be very improper to have it made into a bath robe? My old one shrank when it was washed.
I've entirely omitted of late telling you what I am learning, but though you might not imagine it from my letters, my time is exclusively occupied with study. It's a very bewildering matter to get educated in five branches at once.
'The test of true scholarship,' says Chemistry Professor, 'is a painstaking passion for detail.'
'Be careful not to keep your eyes glued to detail,' says History Professor. 'Stand far enough away to get a perspective of the whole.'

亲爱的长腿叔叔：
吉米麦克白寄了一面普林斯敦的布条给我，跟房间的一端一样长；我很开心他还记得我，但我实在不知道该拿这布条怎么办．莎莉和茱莉亚是不会让我挂起来的，今年我们的房间装潢主题色是红色，你可以想像如果我加了橘色和黑色效果会如何．但这布条的手感又实在又温暖，真的不想浪费它．把布条做成一件浴袍会不会不恰当呢？我的旧浴袍洗过后缩水了．
最近完全省略了跟你说我在学些什么，也许你从我的信件看不出来，但我的时间是完全被读书占据的．同时学习五个科目很令人不知如何是好．
“真正的学者的试炼，”化学教授说，“是对细节的痛苦热情．”
“小心别过于专注细节，”历史教授说．“保持适当的距离，才能获得宏观的视野．”
大家还在听
