...follow the path of the college paper in external and internal development will be determined by the single leash of time. It is doubtful, for instance, if the secondary school journalist would be wise in taking a book supplement upon his hands. The checkrein is tightening on extra-curricular activity all through the educational system and what is possible to the divided interests of a large college staff may be less feasible where the burden is less distributed...

This similarity, as President Lowell has said, is forced upon the college by inadequate grooming. If French 2 must come to Sever it is because "senior French" was not far behind or, in another sense, because it was too far behind...
