...most important justification for a college education is that it does form the best transition from boyhood to manhood, that it gives opportunity for the growth of the maximum of responsibility with the minimum of risk. If, however, supervision on the part of the office is carried beyond a certain point, there is great danger that more harm than good will result. While possibly gaining from better direction of his activities, the undergraduate will inevitably lose in the larger and more vital matter of the development of individual responsibility and initiative...

There should be one responsible individual chairman of a committee of say five or six men. Each of these men should be responsible for the collectors and collection in certain specified dormitories. It is unfair to compel one man to give up two or three whole afternoons to this work when it could be done just as well by dividing it among a number. Perhaps a larger collection would be obtained by having more men responsible...

...obvious value of these examinations lies in the detection of a certain amount of disease, which, if detected early enough, can be cured. A number of such cases were discovered, and were subsequently corrected. Some cases, too, were detected which call for careful observation, perhaps throughout the college course...
