...little community like this, the tone of character,- the fashionable and conventional tone of character, I mean, for I speak not of the recesses of individuals' breasts-should not be far higher than it is in the world outside. It is so already in some respects. But it cannot develop without aggressive criticism, and the feeling in each student that he is in some degree responsible for the behavior of the community. This little matter of the good lame of the yard will be one way in which men can give their shove in the right direction, by not only...
...system is that students who follow consistent courses, may become "onesided and erratic." This charge again is true, and in its truth do we find the excellence of our plan. When a student has acquired a certain roundness, it should be the next step for that student to develop some especial talent with which he is endowed.

No required literary exercise so tends to develop originality of conception, facility of expression, and finish of style. 'The best school of journalism in the world,' said Prof. Thwing, 'is the editorial board of a college journal.' From the college paper graduate the trained writers, the authors, the editors, who mould the great mass of public opinion...
