...value of perfectly free discussion of difficult questions in the courses in Economics is so apparent that it seems all the greater pity that there should be any abuse of privileges. In almost every such course there are some men who will go out of their way to argue a point with the instructor even when it seems that they must know they are in the wrong. While these little off-hand debates may be a source of the greatest pleasure to the men who seek to promote them, they are generally far from such to the class...
...team wishes to win from Yale. In yesterday's game the individual work of every man on the team was excellent and the team play was very good.

The men whose business it is to keep the spectators back where they belong have attempted to do so only in a half - hearted sort of way. The nuisance is not a great one but it does interfere...
