...which they get. Time is often of great importance to them; but their physical powers are in demand, and this double draft upon their energies sometimes costs them their degrees. Men have been induced to enter the professional schools after graduation, that they might help retain the championship for certain sports. The evil of such a course is two-fold. It tends to raise the standard of the sport beyond the capacity of the undergraduate, and thus limits the number that can participate in it. It makes hard work of what was intended as a recreation. Therefore...
...Association has been re-organized. Instead of including every 'college' with a charter, the new association limits its membership to colleges which require a preparatory course, including Greek and plane geometry, and give a degree only to students who have taken a four year's course, in which a certain required amount of work is done." By this change from the original plan more than half of the so-called colleges of the State are barred from admittance to the new association. Thus the line is distinctly drawn between these better institutions and those that are mere high schools with...

We do not believe that the higher education of the country should be concentrated in one, or oven in very few institutions. Every section should have its central college of liberal arts as a promotive to a broader education of the masses below...
...hard to educate up a public sentiment which shall appreciate the true importance of such higher centralized institutions which shall turn the tendency of endowments towards them. Thus it is that all these institutions like Harvard and Columbia depend for their enlargement almost exclusively upon a certain clientele, composed generally of their own graduates, who above all, appreciate the need and usefulness of such gifts. But such a fact too much indicates how slight a hold the universities have upon the class of other than college graduates. The idea of university education is popular; the application of it halts...
