ago. One of the world's most famous diarists, James
Boswell. the young Scot who travelled about Europe in the
1700 s. has left behind volumes of fascinating reading
matter. While the subjects he studied abroad were far
different than the subjects students tailkietoday, like any
student he hacteoo many late nights. worried that he fell in
love too often and fretted about his future when he whuld
return to his father'slands in Scotland. Boswell's concerns
really weren't very different than those Of many of today's
students.; it's reassuring to know things we experience are
pretty 'much the .same. no matter what the century..
