With the efficient elimination of friction between the scholar and the simple seeker of a baccalaureate degree devotees of higher learning are apt to lose one of their few remaining contacts with the world. Just this lack of varied experience prevents the scholar from becoming a great teacher.

Thus German universities in their revival of individualistic thinking show proofs of an escape from ruling contamination's. Hereafter their educational values will be as uncontrolled, as disinterested, as farsighted...
...observed in a talk before the Chamber of Commerce in Cincinnati, that people judge the National Government by their experience with the city government with which they come most intimately in contact.
