He was neither a liar nor a fool, and we may believe that he was sincere when he said, "These things have I kept from my youth up." There is a lesson for us in this declaration of the young man, for very few men today can stand up and say the same thing. This young man had a clean record and the knowledge of how to obtain such a possession is the most valuable thing that there...
...thoroughly agree that "if we are to face our dormitory situation manfully we must prepare to take heroic measures."

"We are specialists," says Professor Munsterberg, "in our handiwork, but our heart-work, is uniform, and the demand for individualized education ignores the great similarities." The system of education which produces...
There is a tendency among college men, continued Mr. Low, to consider universal suffrage, though inevitable, wrong. This stand he proved was false by many illustrations from his experience in Brooklyn and New York. Universal suffrage is beneficial for a body politic because feeling voters are as necessary as thinking voters; it secures the consent of the governed, and it is a force in the elevation of a people...
