...special academic interest are, I think, all of them a little too over-mannered to be successful. The kind of thing they attempt can only be done well by a real master of the essay; and they belong rather to the sphere of well-meaning discipleship than of successful creation. The number by and large, is certainly above the standard of last year's Advocate. It would be admirable if the attempt to comment on political affairs were developed into a reglar feature of the paper...

At least the creation of Beaune, involving as it must have done untold adaptability and the meeting of new educational problems in manifold new ways, augurs well for the future development of many widely separated American schools and colleges, when those who have created and attended Beaune University return. But may not American educators...
