...articles in the current issue of The Nation concern themselves with the question of higher education. Glenn Frank discusses the "Revolt Against Education" and suggests a method by which the colleges may more adequately effect some progress against the huge flood of learning which is now engulfing them. Professor Mussey of Wellesley has another and more personal suggestion. Both are, each in his own way, attempting to outline one particular flaw in the present college system.

...presence of President P. A. S.

The young doctor-artist's concern was to become tactually, factually, acquainted with the physical side of the world whose spiritual side he had so deeply experienced...
...Associated Clubs to assist the college in picking men from the particular community most suited to Harvard tradition and Harvard life cannot be other than commendable. Yet these suggestions are certainly not proof, the metropolitan press to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Reports just published in any way concern sensational adverse criticism of the present Harvard system...
