" But ere long the adherents of Balbus saw that they were on the losing side, and so lessened his power by deserting him, that his interests demanded little consultation, and I asks contemptu- ously, "Is not anything enough for Balbus?" The last mention we find of the college life of our friends shows that Balbus had, by some means, got a part in one of the plays at a Thanksgiving Jubilee, most probably in his Junior year. But by this time both I and You thoroughly disliked and despised him, an...d in spite of their former friendship for him, were willing to see him publicly disgraced, and even to aid in disgracing him. We read, " I will make no objection to your hissing off the stage that very bad actor, Balbus !" Poor Balbus !
