...educated classes of England and the United States hold aloof from one another, the chance for the real international friendship which comes of long acquaintance will be small indeed. It took the actual comradeship of the front line trenches, stripping away social mannerisms and prejudices, to teach the American soldier in France to like and respect the Briton. Unfortunately, it is impossible to stage a war very frequently to promote international good-will. But, if we remain dependent upon newspapers, history books, and casual tourists for our knowledge of foreign countries, the chances for mutual understanding will not be increased...

...cram his head full of facts and pass them, but promptly forget all he has learned. College does not aim to inculcate a mass of detail which may be applied per se in after life--this is left for the technical school.

...wanting to send over to Russia a man who can help those who are seeking council, men who have an elementary knowledge of agriculture, sanitation and dairy work. We do not need a man who can project anything so much as a man who can teach the simple things that he already knows. What the Russians need is clean, healthy boy-life. It would mean a sacrifice perhaps of a year or two of a man's life, yet I can imagine no work from which he could reap greater rewards. The unselfish point of view...
