...preceding fall. At Yale the letter is awarded to those runners who finish within twelfth place in the intercollegiate run, whether Yale wins the run or not. This does not cheapen the letter, for to secure even twelfth place in such an event requires great qualities.

Taken by itself it is a part, and not the most vital part, of education. Surely the essence of a liberal education consists in an attitude of mind, a familiarity with methods of thought, an ability to use information, rather than a memory stocked with facts, however valuable such a storehouse may be.
