...students in clubs is not the way to accomplish this result - and this abolition is the legitimate outcome of Mr. Aiken's arguments. The book, however, is well worth reading by all college men. The author will certainly win respect for his sincerity and earnestness, and one's individual profit from reading the book, even when opposed to the general conclusions of the writer, cannot but be great...
...superiority over the unschooled who have not engaged like privileges with himself. To devote an hour, which would be spent after dinner in idle loafing, to a classical lecture or reading, is not a very heavy tax upon a man when it is all for his own personal profit, and, if we come to the point, we generally are willing to acknowledge by our senior year that we have spent a great many hours to no purpose.

Freshmen, we must repeat, should not be backward about presenting themselves in these trials. There is no member of '86, we feel sure, who, if fairly competent, would not profit by membership. Certainly the trial is worth making...
