There are, of course, obstacles to the success of a general "get-together" of the members of a large field. Perhaps most cogent is the truism that concentrators are primarily interested in the subject, not in their co-workers. Any attempt to bring them together may fail simply because of this lack of mutual interest, and because the men are often personally incongenial. Such a difficulty may be overcome, however, if men can be shown the definite advantages which such periodic meetings offer them. By conversation with colleagues a student can be brought into contact with many branches...
...increased respect for the goings-on at deb parties have been common to all societies for many years now, but nowhere so boldly as in Boston. In New York the opening of the opera still recalls to the public the indisputability of an ancient grand monde; nothing so cogent remains of the old regime along the banks of the Charles. The charming anomaly of society there is that, while staying quite the most full-blooded of any in America, and retaining more of its superiority and crustiness than any other, it still caters most unreservedly to the youngsters...
...enjoy them.

Possibly the confusion is justified, but to the average onlooker it appears founded on hysteria, not upon any understanding of party demarcations. It is a sad commentary or a great portion of the American press that, instead...
...discussion and strong esprit are most necessary is law. And although the Medical and Business Schools have been provided with every facility to encourage group spirit through intimate contact between colleagues, there has been no effort to afford the Law School similar advantages. Conditions have, in fact, long been cogent, and the complete enjoyment of relationships natural within the profession have been impossible. But signs now indicate that the Law School is finally receiving its due consideration. Although the present action is forwarded and encouraging, it can, because of the enormity of the problem, be regarded only as introductory...
