...animated by that spirit of progress and energy which alone makes a university an asset. Too often a university impresses the world as being so absorbed in the past that it is unable to keep abreast of the present. It would indeed be a sorry sight to see an age bearing along the university instead of the university leading the age on to nobler ends. Such a sight Princeton will never permit if her president's program is adopted. The modification of admission requirements will open her doors to many more students, while the regional scholarships will interest men from...
...attention of the westerner to eastern colleges is of the utmost importance. It gathers men together from all parts of the country at an age when friendships are made and habits formed which last throughout life. There is no denying that sectionalism exists today, even though it is not the belligerent type of '61. This bringing together of college men who will afterwards lead their communities will do away with prejudices and establish instead a feeling of appreciation and understanding...
...service. On the other hand, of the living alumni and undergraduates of the University, Yale and Princeton, 36, 38, and 45 percent respectively were in the Army, Navy and auxiliary forces.

Professor-Emeritus Clarence John Blake M.D. '65, of the Medical School, died yesterday at his home in Boston at the age of seventy-six, following a brief illness. He was born in Boston in 1843 and attended the Roxbury Latin School and the Lawrence Scientific School of the University.

In 1888 Professor Blake became a member of the Faculty of the Medical School, holding the professorship in Otology. In 1907 he was given the Walter Augustus Lecompte Professorship of Otology, and became Professor-Emeritus...
...points out, a case of discrimination. It is merely extending to the capable sudents the advantages that they deserve. American universities offer too few of such advantages, far fewer than most European universities. Is it not right for an institution with the age and prestige of Harvard to point the way to a higher standard rather than to fall back to the admittedly inferior standard of today? Is it not our privilege to assert the fallacy of a system that prepares its scholars for college four years later and far less thoroughly than do the public schools of France...
