...opinions with them to join the club and march in the Democratic ranks. We hope, however, that the club will not carry out their action; but if they do we hope the invitation will meet with the refusal of the undergraduates. Most of the Law students are voter and attach more political significance to their action than do the undergraduates. A club which is formed for express purpose of electing a Democratic president cannot reasonably be expected to do anything which would tend to defeat their purpose. It is but natural that they should refuse to join a Blaine...
They go to uphold a good old college custom, they attach no political significance to their action, they go because they want the demonstration made by Harvard to be a good one, one in which all may take part.

Professionalism is too formless...
...terms "smattering" and "superficiality" in knowledge, are frequently used with a great deal of effect nowadays; and yet we think that there is much to be said in favor of smattering in knowledge. Reproach can properly attach to the smatterer only when in the arrogance of half-knowledge, he attempts judgments only open to the specialist. Every man to a certain extent must be a smatterer. It may be necessary to lessen the preponderance of time given to the classics in a liberal education. This many are ready to admit. But that the common ground of studies prior...
