Nothing can so stimulate the student to a desire to become intimately acquainted with a language and its literature as contact with a master of the language.

We think by its adoption that not only could the sole objectionable feature in college contact with professionals be removed, but also more cordial relations would be promoted among the colleges. For the colleges would be relying upon each other's honor...
