Although Cambridge's newest move emphasizes the practical and immediately useful studies, yet it does not detract from the value of a classical training. What has developed for generations the minds of Englishmen is not now discarded.

The importance of the new daylight plan as advocated by the Student Council comes not so much from the fact that we shall probably save considerable fuel by acting as Mr. Storrow advocates, but rather because such a move would be an example to the entire...
