Excerpt from Brown of Harvard
Of the regulation college wide-hip fashion, a faint reminder of the peg-tops of the days of our fathers. The upper part of his body was encased in a sweater - that convenient college garment that so of ten covers a multitude Of sins. And yet, in spite of the loose fit Of his costume, it was easy to see that Madden was a young man of magnificent physical proportions. His head was rather small, almost of the Greek mould, and even the looseness of his sweater failed to conceal the massive shoulders, the thick, powerful neck, the immense expanse Of chest; and as for the extravagantly wide trousers, the simple truth is that they were almost fully Oc cupied by the fine muscular development Of his hips and thighs and legs.
