...chosen field of concentration; it broadens his college course; it may open up new worlds for him. Taking up new courses, if only for experimentation, is advisable. The man who can do four courses satisfactorily can do five courses equally well. It is noteworthy that few honor men content themselves with a minimum number of courses...
...weighing the pros. against the cons. as concerns beer at class "smokers," it is well to keep one point in mind: the amount of beer absorbed by the individual at a class smoker has so negligible an alcohol content that it is safe to say a man does not risk a constitutional breakdown as a result.

Many radical departures from even the newest plans of entrance requirements are proposed. If the changes come slowly it should at least be reassuring to the New England teachers that five Eastern colleges...
