...distinction between a college and a university, showing how much more election in the study belongs to the latter than the former. The college in its aim is "general rather that special, being to develop, as lies in its power, the youth into a man, not into a teacher, lawyer, or other professional or business specialist." The university, on the other hand, is for special study, and is peculiarly an elective institution. Study at a university is usually subsequent to study at colleges.

...Religious.' The position that young men are likely to take under such a loose, half-hearted religious system, is that of agnosticism. The place occupied by religion should be honorable and unmistakable. Never has the question 'Is life worth living' been asked with such persistency as now. The college teacher should answer it, when questioned by the student under his charge.

The associations which many of the more important schools have formed, try to keep alive...

Why should you fear to establish that same precedent which the CRIMSON fears so much? There is no law that forces the faculty to have a proper regard for it in their management of our affairs; and if next year a petition were...
