...instrument in our lives, we should be its masters and the governors of its destiny. But instead we have become the slaves of the machine; we run hither and thither in agony of futile haste; we compete where no end is served and no result achieved; we sweat over unloved tasks and neglect the true business of life; we erect and execute useless schemes, multiplying the worries of life, cluttering our days with rubbish, blasting Leisure and wasting our strength on this false and misbegotten ideal of "College Spirit." Columbia "Varsity...
...Thomas A. Edison's view that college graduates are too finicky--they want white-collar jobs and don't care for the sweat and the muck that are not dissociable with some kinds of hard work. Clerical employment appears congenial to them; the grind and the grief of mechanical engineering does not. At the bottom of Mr. Edison's gravamen against the collegian is his disinclination to work. He says a man is set for life at twenty-one, and if he is a dullard then, a dullard he will remain to the end of his days...

...reserve'--a sort of semirepose, after a month of hot work and strain, too. It is not that we sweat and slave greatly, but there somehow seems to be a nervous effort and tightening in driving under fire which takes it out of one physically. The result is that after our 'spells' of 24 or 48 hours we sink into lethargic repose until the next call. The days seem all alike--except that we are served 'chocolat' instead of black, sugarless coffee on Sunday mornings--and they slip by, unsung, into the tumbled yesterdays of 'a little while...
...ordinary task to publish a University Register in a normal year. That little red volume has always represented the sweat of a great many editorial brows. And so at the beginning of this college year it seemed impossible to get out this book in any sort of shape. The Board, however, was very reluctant to break the continuity of such a time-honored series, and it was decided to make the best of trials. The 1917-18 Register comes out today, which is a little late as Registers go, but a hasty perusal of it will soften any wrath because...
