...classics to corroborate this statement, but I would remark that the study of mathematics offers little to those who are not particularly qualified for it (except a discipline of the mind, which the analysis of the Latin Subjunctive supplies), while the study of Belles-Lettres gives a man that culture and intellectual scope which this age demands, even if it does not make him a poet or historian...
...state that the latter is the case. A Senior who obtains less than 40 per cent on any elective is by the rules of the College conditioned, and of course loses his degree. But the required average of 50 per cent is a general average, and if a man obtains a mark above 50 - e.g. 55 - in one subject, it will counterbalance a mark between 40 and 50 - e. g. 45 - in another, and his degree will be safe.

The great trouble is, the class crew drains the Freshman class of much of the money...
...into vacancy, and partly at a photograph of one of Raphael's Madonnas, which adorned our modest study. We had read all about the grievances of the Memorial Hall victims which are almost as enlivening as the old plank-walk appeals; all the discussions intended to prove that a man who wears a clean shirt insults a man who does not, or (and to the latter opinion I rather incline) vice versa. We had read, too, of the woful condition of college morals and college men, who commit the heinous sin of wearing ulsters and smoking cigarettes, and whose moral...
