...vagaries of the undergraduate mind, conscience, and particularly the sense of liberty. It is a wise and humorous treatment of a subject which must have driven many a dean in many college to the borders of insanity-the student who, when haled into court for over-cutting or neglect of studies, waves the banner of liberty and demands to be treated like a man; and who, when confronted later with some such item as a bill for broken furniture, waives his right to adult standing and asks that the bill be sent to his father...
Speaking of the results of allowing students to attend classes at their own discretion, he points out the obvious fact that not only the less interesting lectures but also those which come on Saturday and Monday mornings are liable to extreme neglect. The modifications, however, which are being made in the lecture system at Harvard must necessarily make some change in the point of view of both undergraduate and dean.

Mr. Johnson is original at the price of being trivial. He concludes on the hopeful note that the collee graduate, without an education but with that je-ne-saisquoi which he lacked before, will be less likely than his brother to join the Ku-Klux-Klan. Four years and some thousands of dollars at almost any college should and usually do accomplish more than that...
