"He'll always think St. Regis spoiled him, so he'll send his sons to day school in Portland." (1.1.269)

Quote #5
The war began in the summer following his freshman year. (1.2.164)
World War I breaks out in Europe in Amory's second year of school. But it doesn't affect him until his final year because the U.S. doesn't get involved right away. Once he's drafted, though, Amory ends his education and begins a whole new kind of education on the battlefield.
Quote #6
That night, they discussed the clubs until twelve, and, in the main, they agreed with Burne. (1.4.30)
Burne Holiday is a real rebel. He actually thinks that purpose of Princeton is to educate people instead of offering them a bunch of exclusive clubs to belong to. The nerve! Who wants knowledge when you can have status instead?!
