Page "learned" Paragraph 463

Though it did not become known to the writer for some time, a nucleus group had sprung up within the class.

They began to meet in the evenings and carry forward various discussions they felt not fully enough covered in class.

From a few students this group gradually increased to include over three-fourths of those officially enrolled in the class, and many outsiders as well.

Also, although only a few of the students were intimately acquainted with each other in the beginning, most reported that when the semester ended their dearest and closest campus friendships were with members of that class.

In fact, they often revamped their social activities to include class members previously unknown.
