...moral perceptions of those affected by them. The mind will not be broadened by an education which is built on the competitive examination system; rather, it will be narrowed by the most superficial and selfish ambition-the rank-list. Knowledge is no longer sought for knowledge's sake, but as an instrument for securing prizes and scholarships. And it too often happens that knowledge is not sought at all, but merely the scholarships and prizes. A false, superficial learning, a knowledge "crammed" just before examinations often serves as well, or better, than the more steady and real growth in knowledge...
...city of Cambridge, for some incomprehensible reason, has forbidden any one to skate on Fresh Pond this year. At first it was thought that this action was taken for the sake of preventing persons from venturing on the ice before it was strong enough to bear. But now that the ice is four or six inches thick, this excuse for forbidding skating is no longer plausible.

The hurdlers will have special work assigned them after Easter...
...ought to be. Training in the winter and spring, therefore, calculates to develop muscles called into play in foot-ball, and will be of especial value to men who intend to try for the eleven next year. The training the men go through, however, is valuable for its own sake as well as for developing men for the eleven, and furnishes, there-fore, a desirable course of exercise for men who are not doing other team work. The fact that a man knows nothing of football should be no barrier to his joining this class. On the contrary, Mr. Cumnock...
