...resources of the University are large; much larger, in fact, than those of most of its rivals. There is no lack of muscle and brains with which to win. The trouble is that they are not made use of; that particular branches of activity are left to those who happen to be engaged in them at the moment. In short, there is not enough care taken to use all possible material, and when there is no material to manufacture...

It can rarely happen that any member of the team will have any thorough knowledge of the subject assigned or can startle the world by any really new thought upon it. Knowledge, both of the acts involved and, of the pros and cons of the argument, must be got up between the time of giving out the subject and the time of the bebate, and it seems to to me immaterial whether...
