...mobile fund. Neither the poetry nor the book reviews seem to me good. The first has real facility; but it represents that stage of development where words are more to the writer than ideas. The book reviews display too little knowledge of the subjects with which they deal; and they are too perfunctory in character to make any real assessment possible.

Whatever the merits of the elective system at its best, it has not in most cases insured the pursuit of a well-balanced program of studies by the individual student. Too early specialization at the cost of fundamental general training, or conventional choices at the suggestion of fellow students, fraternity associates, or upper classmen, or an aimless following of the line...
