...question is, "Where shall I go now?" So thinks the student who has completed his four years of college life. Many men are obliged to go into business, others seek experience in travel, but there are a few who find themselves able to follow out some line of study in which they are interested. It is for such men that the following brief description of the great French schools is intended. The German universities are a favorite resort for the ambitions, but there is a kind of training that they do not give, and that want is supplied...
...rank and marks, others to nothing, but how few of us have any definite method, beside cramming through a cunningly arranged series of examinations, by which to arrive as a higher intellectual sphere. Of course it only would be labor lost, either to argue with the "grind" or to seek to urge proper reading on many others, but the reading men are laying the best foundation and it is at college, if anywhere, that we must learn to accustom ourselves to books...

If imitation is the best flattery, then Mr. Mitchell, the editor of Life, should be very much pleased ; for even...
...matters in a much fairer condition. But since that time, Holmes field, which supplied the greater number of the courts, has become practically useless, and will probably remain so for some time. As a result, all those tennis players who owned courts on that field are now obliged to seek elsewhere. The number of the courts which are left in college is very small. Under the existing rules, these courts belong to a few men who have the first right of playing on them during certain hours of the day. The only excuse that was offered in the past...
