...fact is that the one political club in existence here is not in that degenerate condition. Its activity is practically limited to securing a small number of speakers to address members of the club and their friends on party principles. As long as this is done in a dignified manner, it is not bad, but positively good. Political education and academic education are not properly separated; one of the first necessities of a rounded education is an understanding of political questions.

The speakers on Commencement Day are not selected in the same manner from all the departments of the University. The College, for example, sets a definite standard which students must reach in order to compete, while the Law School Faculty simply calls for volunteers and selects the most fitting representative from these. The matter is largely one of custom, the one desire being to secure...
