Granting the simple logic of this approach, admitting the success of the venture thus far, the thoughtful undergraduate might well wonder what his chances for a job will be in 1951 under such a system. Other schools--among which Yale is an out-standing example--lay much more emphasis on placement and much less on discovering aptitudes and inclinations.

...years, under head masters who didn't have to worry so much about the business side, Rugby was an "anarchy tempered by despotism." In 1797, the boys rebelled against one flogging head master, smashed his windows, blew down his door, burned his books, and only desisted at the approach of soldiers with fixed bayonets...
