...considerable number of men whose training in Education was secured at Harvard are superintendents in larger cities. Superintendents F. V. Thompson of Boston, F. W. Ballou of Washington, D. C., C. R. Reed of Akron, and H. S. Gruver of Worcester, are, for example, Harvard graduates. Positions of the sort they hold now command salaries as high as $10,000.

There are snobs at Harvard and snobs at Yale, Oberlin and Lealand Stanford. There are prigs everywhere.

...Chief among the popular songs form the show are "Girl of Mine", "Since I Met Marie", and "Mamie". where the fact that two undergraduates have names beginning with the same letter is regarded as enough upon which to found a beautiful friendship, but there is no bunk about this sort of thing at Harvard. The chances are against, rather than in favor of, the outsider getting inside,--as they are everywhere else. But that in itself may be a valuable factor in the undergraduate's development. The "Smart Aleck" may well be disappointed at the impression he creates...
