...Dunbar's essay, with more variety of style but less skill and general finish seeks help elsewhere. Amid random shots at present evils that dishearten the poor undergraduate, such as bad lecturing, bad prescribed reading, and that abomination the "section-man" (!), he has at least one real suggestion-something not very distantly akin to the Oxford tutorial system. Even if treasures shine from the end of the road of scholarship equal to those which beckon men to athletics (to drive home the brilliance of the metaphor), it is extremely doubtful whether many worthy undergraduates will alter their extra-curriculum activities...
Sweeping generalizations, slap-dash impressions and random notions calmly labelled "facts," all delivered pell-mell in a kind of word-storm, seriously impair the value of the article "Wagner--After the Noise of Battle," by H.

Among the sub-divisions appear the following: "A man forbid." "The valued file." "Cabin'd cribb'd, confined." "Indent with fears." "Did oppress our rest...
...Farrington '94 each submitted a list of men in the class of '94 whom they considered successful. Twenty-three men were on all three lists. The college records of there were looked up and compared with those of the same number of members of the class taken at random. The "successful" men were found to have obtained in examinations 196 A's, 180 B's, and 156 C's while the others obtained...
