A college community, like that of a passenger-ship, being cut off from the conventional environment of homes, resolves itself, for the most part, into a thor- oughly democratic society, the division into "sets" being based primarily upon personality rather than upon family or wealth. And so, although I had learned from contemporaneous English novels some- thing of English distinctions of rank, I had every- thing to learn of American social standards and dis- criminations. Before I went to the B...ishop's I was under the illusion that we in America lived in a democracy that despised but pitied the medieval castes of Europe. I am not sure that I did not expect, upon arriving one morning in June at the exclusive mountain re- sort where the Bishop lived in summer, that his wife 170 ^ The Bishop's Secretary would be at the station to meet me, and would, in a motherly way, embrace me, as I would certainly have embraced and comforted a motherless, homeless, frightened young girl who had happened into my hands.
