...system occasions jokes among men in the field. There is apparently no desire for rejuvenation because it is generally felt that Geology is not suited for this special method of education in the same way that History, Economics, or English is. Classes are so small that the personal element, so often lacking in courses dealing with the social sciences, provides all the benefits of the tutorial system without actually requiring it. No informal tutorial program can possibly compare with the summer field-work which undergraduates do in the company of graduate research students...
...fifth depression of the accelerator rubber began to shrick on every curve. "This fellows's a fool," barked the driver of the Chevrolet, "he doesn't know when he's had enough." Suddenly the Ford began a Bedlam of horn-honking.

This irresponsible element is wasting either the money of the State or of their parents, as well as being a millstone about the necks of men who are prepared to make the most of their education. Our forefathers believed that a man deserved an education if he showed intellectual promise and determinedness of purpose, now the current belief is that everyone, regardless of his or her intentions should...
