...course a natural transition to the University. At Columbia this process of specialization is allowed to begin at the end of the junior year; in Ann Arbor at the end of the sophomore year. Harvard has deliberately converted her entire curriculum into elective courses arranged in proper sequence for certain departments. Whatever may become of the old baccalaureate degree, it is perfectly plain that the older and better American colleges are evolving into universities. Whether the old-fashioned A. B. will give way to the masters and doctors degree, or be conferred at an earlier period in the University course...
Last spring we had abundant opportunity to ferment a spirit of "strife" over the disgraceful conduct of a certain member of the Harvard nine on the Yale field, and also over the malignant articles which appeared in Harvard papers-on the game where no regard was paid to the truth-but we let it pass by in silence for the sake of that good feeling which we joined heart and soul in trying to bring about.

And the mental life is so vigorous that scholars feel, all the time, mortally ashamed of doing so little. Life works by certain divine contagion. Facilities, opportunities, rules, standards, traditions-all are good; but life itself is better, and a working faculty will make a working school. That is the central fact of student life at Harvard; this is a working school. Space forbids any attempt to show here the courses of study...
