These changes are frequent. The best classical scholar of my year had specialized in mathematics at school until he was thirteen or fourteen. Of the four men in my class at Queen's who distinguished themselves in classics at the end of their second year, two went over to European history. Professor A. N. Whitehead, now of Harvard, did classics at school, and has since distinguished himself principally in mathematics and philosophy. It is erroneous to think of this scholarship system as fixing the boy's line of development. In a way it makes change more likely by insisting that...

In fact, it may well be taken as a jovial and sympathetic lecture on the social and intellectual history of the United States during the pre-War of 1812 period.

Ordinary motion pictures will be shown almost exclusively for the present, pending the growth of a demand from colleges throughout the country sufficient to bring about the production of talks, for the study of academic subjects. There are, however, a few such films in existence and it is expected that these...
...president of the Mellon-controlled Standard Steel Car Co., now a part of Pullman. He plays golf only as a concession to friends, does not like the theatre, hates formal entertaining. But he never misses a good prizefight. At stag parties his songs start early, are famed & frequent. Just as many a tycoon seeks relaxation in reading, playing a violin, constructing ship models or painting. Mr. Joyce has his escape mechanism. When he wants to be alone he buys a couple of apples, rides for an hour or so on the back platform of a streetcar. His handshake...
