...system. I don't know whether that is because no one loves a Freshman anyway, or merely because no one wastes much thought on Freshmen, but I believe so strongly that a grave mistake will be made if the Freshmen are not included in the House organizations that I cannot refrain from registering my protest...

Mrs. Bok tried the teaching of useful trades, U. S. theories of liberty and government, the English language. She was met with forced interest, with acquiescence veiling suspicion. At length she turned to a universal language-music. She arranged for lessons for her polyglot proteges. In 1915 she established...
