...Fitch '00 will give the third of his addresses to the Freshman Class in the Common Room of Smith Halls tonight at 7.30 o'clock. His subject will be "College Democracy--Does it Exist and How Far Do We Carry It." Dr. Fitch's talks have been unusually well attended this year...
...fate claims the best," he wrote to his mother, "it is not unjust. The less noble who survive will thereby be made better. . . .Nothing is lost. . . The true death would be to live in a conquered country--for me above all others, as then my art could not exist." The notion that a man of genius is too precious to fight is, to some minds, attractive and convincing. But it is specious. It has its origin in the school of pessimism--the Schopenhauerian pessimism which fears contact with the realities of life. It springs from that same suicidal philosophy which...

The Regiment as a body was more inspired by the ideals of immediate efficiency...
...that a man who is blessed with a genius for writing will become an author with or without college training. Mark Twain gained his college training in a printing office and a pilot house, and Cooper gained his on board a fighting ship. Schools of authorship will probably never exist, for the man who specializes in the art of authorship will need little help in the selection of his courses. College training will help these men of gifted ability, but it can never produce them. The reasons for the lack of literary geniuses during a certain period must be sought...
