...annual report of President Hadley indicates that Yale is crystalizing an educational plan which differs from the University's in several particulars. Its foundation is specialization and prescription. Following the plan of the German universities, Yale proposes to begin specialization for professional service as early as the freshman year; while she prescribes the courses for her undergraduates on the ground that the faculty knows better a student's needs than the student himself.

...never doubted that some such decision would be reached, though we are at a loss to understand the interpretation of this particular statement. Whether it applies to all men who through their military service have missed academic work or whether it merely applies to those who left within a year of their degrees, we trust that no undue advantage of this privilege will be taken.

President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia calls attention in his annual report to the growing importance of history and international law not only as subjects of study by the student body but as objects of reform by the college authorities. He emphasizes in particular the need for studying these two subjects in their comparative aspects. In making this allusion, Dr. Butler has probably hit upon as grave an error in our system of pedagogy as can ever be made the subject of controversy by our educational reformers. It is that of allowing personal or national or even religious bias...
