...scholarly attainment has become more attractive to young men here than ever before; and every part of the University has profited thereby. From the College now go each year into our graduate schools large groups of young men who have already distinguished themselves as scholars. They are prepared to search out principles and to deal with the problems of a world that is ever new. Such students are inspiring to their teachers and lead the way for their fellows. The increasing resort to our graduate schools and their recognized high accomplishments testify to their worth...
