The University of Berlin will probably maintain its lead for a few years to come, but the rapidity of growth among American universities promises soon to transfer the leadership in numbers from Berlin to Columbia. Whatever may be said regarding the relative value...
...standing at the College Office. In about six weeks you will be put to the test of hour examinations. If you pass them satisfactorily, you can go on with whatever activities you may choose; if you fail, you have broken training in every branch of College interests which may attract you. You are then absolutely debarred from competition and have broken a mental training as disgracefully as you could break an athletic training...
