...teach the intangibles, Challenge has tried to keep its style informal. A biannual comment about a grade replaces a conventional report card. Classes are small and discipline tends to be lax.

Juvenal, in a rate constructive comment, here urges man to pray for mens sana in corpore sano. Johnson's soaring close inspires, but is un-Juvenlia on that account. Lowell's tone is simpler, lightly ironic, and a little irritated: just right...
