...sure we don't miss them. Why do you think all exams insist at the top, "Illustrate;" "Be Specific;" etc.? They mean it. The illustrations needn't of course, be singularly relevant; but they must be there. If Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete scattered through your bluebook will have you up for sainthood. Or at least Dean's List.

For this reason English very properly requires of its concentrators three half courses in literature before 1700. Yet a field asking of its undergraduate followers nothing more creative than a thorough knowledge of its informational content is a dead field, and the College cannot afford the intellectual death of its students...
