...impossible careers that are simply misunderstood by their inexperienced and unsettled minds. Naturally, practical business men of a limited education, but early business training, are unwilling to take such superior (?) spirits into their offices and do not hesitate to prefer younger men, who are more amenable to reason and command than many of those well grounded in history, philosophy,-nay, all the liberal studies of a college education.

...give the students here a series of lectures that should treat of the practical side of journalism, and present in clear form the problems that must be met and solved by those who undertake it. There is no other profession in which such active, accurate thought, so body a command of resources, and so clear a method of exposition are needed. The faculty of late have been devoting their valuable time to the obstruction of athletics: would they mind considering a subject that is of vital importance to the proper education of a class of men hither-to unnoticed...
