...called a return to socialism in the political life of England, of some continental countries, and to a less degree, of our own country. Then it was pointed out that this tendency means not merely a political movement, but also to some extent the growth of a moral ideal which gives a stronger life to the movement. The moral ideal at the basis of socialism is the ideal of society as an organized whole, whose interests are not identical with the mere aggregate of the individual interests. The conflict between this and the other, (the utilitarian ideal) was then outlined...
...College have adopted a policy directly contrary to the one that has been in force so long and with such good effects,-the policy of non-interference.

They furnish a mental stimulus. They set up an object to be striven for and an ideal of strength or skill. The object is honor-honor of no great worth, perhaps, but still honor to the student mind. To secure a victory in any sport, good brains in the players contribute quite as much as good muscles. In fact, it is the skilled muscles roughly directed...
