...undertakings. That is the basic reasons why the college graduate had better not go directly into teaching. He is not prepared to take his proper part in anything the school has to do as a school: he may get on well enough, after a little floundering, in his own classroom, but he is not a professional. If he marries and has to go on teaching in order to make a living, he may never become more than a "good" teacher. His grasp of educational issues will be at best a matter of pick-up knowledge.

His pictures are intended for the film-going public as a whole, and not solely for a few hypercritical students. For this reason most college films, outside of the annual football epic (for which I offer no apologies) are musicals...
