...ability, is not deemed a grind, in just the same way that a great classical or mathematical scholar is. He who writes for the college papers gets a popularity, small to be sure, but in kind, somewhat like that of the athlete. It is, in a certain degree, a credit to the class. Accordingly, many who cannot distinguish themselves in athletics, are beginning to look upon a place on an editorial board as a good way to become favorably known in college...
