...subject of remark that students seldom appreciate the advantages offered to them in the shape of lectures and concerts. This is especially the case with the series of chamber concerts that are being given in Sever Hall.

These men are seldom thoroughly cultivated, but greatly exaggerate the effect of university culture upon grade, perhaps of all errors about the system the one most generally prevalent. Still others maintain strongly and definitely that the higher education always "pays;" that no matter what a man's occupation may be he will always...
