There has been much justified doubt as to the advisability of individual attention for boys of Preparatory school age. Men weaned on the "five-hundred-times-neatly-in-ink" policy have felt that such treatment would undermine rather than develop the resourcefulness and independence upon which hangs youth's virility and chances for success at college. And had the Exeter faculty failed to recognize such a possibility and to counteract it by an iron hand beneath the velveteen, the shell-backed pessimism would have been amply substantiated...
...years ago a committee of the Student Council presented a report on inter-House athletics. In general the conduct of inter-House athletics during the past year has followed the procedure recommended in that report. Even as the Houses were to be permitted to develop other extra-curricula activities in their own way, we in the Athletic Department were anxious to see as much autonomy as possible in the evolution of an inter-House athletic program.

Little need be said of the spider web which ironically enough must develop at times into a stout hempen rope, that gives excuse for the presence of George M. Cohan. And it does not content itself with a single exhibition of its star but must with unparalleled magnanimity, offer him to the audience twice, once as T.K. Blair, the nominee for the presidency...
Courses offered at any college are not made to aid the doting father in his aspirations for his offspring. A "personality factory" must suffer the fate of "spinster factory." Should we perhaps advocate an institution to teach girls to sit gracefully by the fire--alone and another, to develop charm--for father? Radcliffe News-Daily...
