...will be the practical work required of each student in the summer. The object of this work will be two-fold, first, to teach the students from practical experience and observation the elements of business that cannot be taught in the class-room, and secondly, to bring them in contact with the men with whom their life work is to be done. Incidentally the summer work will be useful in accustoming every student to the rough work and routine through which, if at all, his university training may enable him to rise. The School does not pretend to graduate...
...enter politics, he remarked, was that the machine said he could not win; in the same way many apparently one-sided issues, when left to the people, are decided in a wholly unexpected manner. Sincere and helpful criticism of men and institutions with which the young politician comes in contact, an inflexible maintenance of his word, come what may, and an attitude towards the people while not too cordial and familiar, yet open-minded and careful of their interests, are some of the most fundamental elements of success.

...fact that now is the time to become acquainted with those ideals in the arts, in literature and science which are accessible to the undergraduate. After graduation, there is time a plenty for the more practical and every day phases of life, but the opportunity of coming into contact with the great movements in history or the ideals of literature dwindles to almost nothing. Unless there is some stimulation to follow these lives of inspiration when they are offered, it is highly probable that they will be entirely neglected. In actual work, reporting of every description is the basis...
