...judged by criteria vaguely concerned with the tariff and a Mexican ideal of procrastination. Yet, it is quite fitting that just as Washington is the nerve center of national legislation it should also be the clearing house for national scholarship.

Obviously it was the prevalent impression that such a dance was not needed, and with the exception of a few letters there is no indication that this sentiment has changed. Unless it is possible to prove to the officers of the class that a function of this...
