This means of transportation, besides being free, will bring the field within six minutes of the college, instead of twenty as formerly.

To cultivate a spirit of fraternity is the only way; not pity or the kind of fraternity that makes a man so sensitive that he can't bear to ride in a street car because there are women standing in it, but fraternity such as exists between farmers when they get together for a barn raising. Every contact with the average man is a way of teaching democracy...
