These three institutions--Syracuse, Union, Rochester--would alone make the scholastic reputation of many a populous State. We can add to them the names of other institutions of less scope but sturdy strength. Colgate University has enjoyed the support through three generations of the family in whose honor its name was changed from Madison University. St. Lawrence University and Alfred University receive State appropriations, in support of schools of agriculture and ceramics. Both, like Colgate, might without much injustice be called by the title that Hobart, Wells and Hamilton are content to bear the title "college." But they...
...meeting of the Associated Southern Yale Clubs, two speeches, one by President Hadley, the other by an undergraduate representative, illustrated two points of view on the much discussed subject of college democracy. President Hadley declared that the universities should be "national in scope and not represent the provincial viewpoint of a single district, Church, or class of society",--very much in the vein of Doctor Angell's talk a week ago.

The unprejudiced observer, interested in these efforts, would be forced to admit that, although some local societies have done a great deal, their activities have not reached that national scope necessary for any long-time effect...
...extensive tours with its annual productions, and as a result is perhaps not so widely known as 47 Workshop and the Glee Club, soon to have an international reputation. But what it loses in not venturing far from the center of culture, it seems to be gaining in the scope of the plays which it presents. Tonight, at its first spring performance, will be seen a Japanese "Noh" play, an English farce, and Maeterlinck's "The Blind." This year, as last, its audience can be assured at least of a cosmopolitan enough entertainment...
