...cramming and cheating at examinations by removing the examinations. While admitting that the Honor System in college has little to recommend it and the policing of examination rooms remains an insult to many, yet the Columbia method seems to approach the problem from the wrong end, to put the cart before the horse. Before undergraduates may be allowed all the privileges of the "desire" program, they must be educated up to education by desire. In this course of sprouts, gradual extension of freedom of cuts is a prime requisite to accustom the student to responsibility in doing his own work...
...purposes. But the vile act once accomplished, and the well known Sylvia discovered to be his boyhood sweetheart, Holies proved properly heroic-spitted Buckingham in the liver-wing-suffered a terrible beating from that gentleman's lackeys- nursed Sylvia through the plague, then raging-escaped from a dead-cart-and generally conducted himself in such proper d'Artagnan fashion that it seemed only fair for Mr. Sabatini to reward him with Sylvia's hand and a nice little governorship somewhere in the Indies...

The last section of the book, in which he tells of the fabled "King of the World", and sets forth Buddhistic prophecies and miracles, is undoubtedly a more than unique thing. Strangest of all--the passage that causes the Christian reader to gasp as he suddenly and without...
...idea was derived from a custom at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris of carrying the drawings from the draughting tables to the judgment room by means of a small push-cart--a charrette. . . so that when a student is particularly rushed with his work he is said to be working "en charrette". In America this means expending a great effort. In Paris once a year the Ecole gives a large entertainment called the "Fete d'Ecole" the idea of which the University School has enlarged upon with its "Fete Charrette...
