Even persons who do not share this view of a professional aim have often urged that in order to save college education in the conditions that confront us we must reduce its length. May we not feel that the most vital measure for saving the college is not to shorten its duration, but to ensure that it shall be worth saving? Institutions are rarely murdered; they meet their end by suicide. They are not strangled by their natural environment while vigorous: they die because they have outlived their usefulness, or fail to do the work that the world wants done...
...student has pursued in college. Any young man who has brains, and has learned to use them, can master the law, whatever his intellectual interests may have been; and the same thing is true of the curriculum in the Divinity School. Many professors of medicine, on the other hand, feel strongly that a student should enter their school with at least a rudimentary knowledge of those sciences, like chemistry, biology and physiology, which are interwoven with medical studies; and they appear to attach greater weight to this than to his natural capacity or general attainments.

The fact that under it the student is required to write at the end of his blue-book the statement that he has neither given nor received assistance, would make it, to those hypersensitive should who feel humiliated by proctors, equally offensive. As Mr. Macgowan himself admits, it has not wholly eliminated cheating in those institutions which have tried it. Whatever fancied advantages it may possess seem to me more than outweighed by the fact that it places the perplexing duties of detection and discipline upon...
