...should not be the means of any graduate student working his way through for a Ph.D., nor should it be a position for any man who happens to want it who can flash a Phi Beta Kappa key. One does not have to be a scholar to be a teacher...
...correct; Mr. William J. Bingham, Director of the Athletic Association told me that Dr. Paul H. Means said that after my illness I would not be able to continue my fencing instruction next season.

The fact, as has been accused, that professors live like nabobs, travel all over the world, and die without leaving a cent should not be invoked to show they could, if more provident, retire in comparative luxury without assistance. If a teacher is to inspire the admiration, respect, and cooperation of his students in this material age, besides fulfill the social obligations of a university community and preserve the external tranquility that precedes mental efficiency, he must hold to a higher standard of living than the day laborer, the artisan, or even...
