...Pennsylvania overlook the fact that the "man" entering college has lived at home long enough not to forget his home and its many charms and beneficial influences, and that he has reached a time of life when his nature, which is but his almost instinctive yearning for freer and broader living, demands something higher and stronger than home influences. The home, it is true, lays the best foundation, but the college makes the best building, and the man whose life is spent entirely at home or whose college life is characterized by a daily dependence on home, will find when...

...that, of late, complaints have been made that the Naval Academy in particular was becoming a school of general science, and losing too much its characteristic peculiarities as a naval school. But we think this complaint is unfounded. The naval officer of the present must have a far broader education to enable him to perform his duties intelligently and keep informed in the discoveries of the scientific that are constantly being and which so vitally affect naval interests, than was required by the heroes of fifty or even twenty-five years...
