...thing must be said of the first Monthly that was said of the first Advocate: it is a mistake that no mention is made of international affairs. The solitary editorial, a just enough attack on Advice to Freshmen, does not fill the bill. We are not so blindly self-conscious as would appear--but how is anyone to know it?

Scholarship should be a matter of taste and innate ability, rather than a conscious striving for an immediate and tangible reward.
