...seems to me that for the nation to adopt any policy which depends for its success upon the assumption that there is to be no more war would, at this time, be a highly dangerous thing do do.

And why shouldn't universities make the attempt to place a premium upon brains in this way? Students who maintain high rank give an institution very little trouble. It is the dunce and the shirker who make it necessary for colleges to maintain an array of deans and other disciplinary officials. There...
