...European students, after completing a tour of thirty American colleges, were unanimous and emphatic in their criticisms. Perhaps their most interesting remark was one which had to do with undergraduate activities. In this country, an English student, said, one goes to college not to develop himself, but to distinguish himself. Since the road to distinction leads at present through athletics and "activities" rather than through studies, a distortion of emphasis naturally results. A student's object becomes to "make" a club, team, or organization; and he feels content when he has attained that object...
With only two more days of practice this spring, the football team will hold its first scrimmage today. The candidates were divided into two squads yesterday and the members of team B given black jerseys to distinguish them from team A. There has been no definite line-up planned, as all the men will be used some time during the afternoon...

Thus Protestantism is less...
...muddle (sic) which painting has got into latterly. It is from him chiefly that the younger artists have taken the notion of looking within themselves to interpret the outer world, instead of, like their elders, looking at the outside world to realize themselves. Because oftentimes they are unable to distinguish much of anything within themselves, you know what happens (They get themselves called crazy). That is Picasso's crime. But Michael Angelo shares his guilt, and Rembrandt, and Delacroix, and Cezanne...
