There will be many things to interest this veteran of world-changing battles. In all truth it may be that which we might suppose would interest him the most will not stir him. He has seen so very much of war, so very much of soldiers, courageous, hardy, strong, that the sight of one more regiment, however gallant and well-trained it may be, could well cause small influence on him. What thought can he have of a thousand men? He has been in command of millions...

Nothing makes a man think for himself more than to be shocked by the expression of some extreme opinion. If a college education can do no more, it can stir up a man's brain cells. The prevailing type of undergraduate, contrary to the supposed condition of youth, is too stand, too conservative, to be carried away by the expression of radical ideas. Should a fortunate student be accidentally bumped from his daily rut, panic would seize him, and the next...
