...college who read the editorials-not because they are not worth reading, but because it is a "bore" to do so. Besides it is the fashion here at Harvard to mock and jeer and rail at the college papers. The Advocate must know that by experience.

It is useless to claim the title of humanities exclusively for the classics. Men are not asked to give up culture for business, but for the sake of business.
