...slovenly use of English by college men in this country has long been a ground for unfavorable comparison of American with English universities. It has also been a cause of general complaint against college men. The person who has not a university training almost invariably judges the man who has by his ability to express himself, orally and in writing. It is surprising to many business men how few recent college graduates can write even clear and cogent business letters. The work of Mr. Hersey in the Business School has shown that even men who have added to their undergraduate...

The passion of the American undergraduate for intercollegiate athletics is merely a symbol of a general interpretation for all the activities that come to his attention. If he is interested in politics, it is in election campaigns. In the contests of parties and personalities. His parades and cheering...
This is the first time that the complaints have been seriously considered by the Faculty. Since the Student Council, ostensibly the mediator between students and Faculty, is not allowed to plead directly before the Faculty but must content itself with sending to it a written petition, there is always considerable difficulty in obtaining a hearing for a complaint. The oral exams. have been overhauled by previous Student Councils, but their recommendations have been shelved or blocked in some department before they ever reached the Faculty. By the time that the class of 1915, after being in the toils for three...
