...startling. The fact of its existence is merely lost sight of about this time every year. It is a great temptation, when studying for an examination, to fill up with a mass of facts and quotations and useful bits from the lecture notes, neglecting entirely the formulation of personal judgment and criticism. Now facts are essential to show a general knowledge of a course; but the ability to think for oneself is an advantage which is coming to have more and more recognition. Professors--the great majority of them at least--are asking not what a man has "learned...
...gentlemen who make such laws, the great majority of our immigration difficulties could be averted. You cannot handle immigration as you do the tariff. The only fair way to settle the perplexity is to allow the officials at each port of entry more personal discretion in the judgment of the various cases--to make the Quota Law itself more flexible, more capable of expansion as necessity arises.

Any men interested in the competition may obtain copies of the play...

Our judgment proved correct, for during the first two weeks of practice the squad remained practically intact. After the first practice in Belmont, however, there was an appreciable drop in the squad, and no amount of urging brought this number back again. There is something important to consider for another year especially...
