...twenty-two, should include two things, namely, mental training and positive knowledge. In this, I think, almost all men are agreed; but as to the proportions of the two and as to their compatibility, men's opinions vary widely. Of one thing, however, we may be sure. If either element of education be neglected in the undergraduate course, it is unlikely that the deficiency will ever be made good. The years immediately following graduation are devoted, in the vast majority of instances, to learning a profession or a business; and these interests should be shared with no others except...
...German in the college that some society or club should be formed to create an interest in German literature, and they felt that their intentions would be best carried out by the formation of a club which, in addition to its literary side, should also have a social element.

...with which he does not agree!" The writer then deplores the use of the word "professionalism" as applied to dishonest practices, and holds that the faculty is unwise in forbidding all practice with professionals (in the proper sense of the word). We have in college a so-called "sporting element" which is really very deleterious to athletics. The point which Mr. Wendell makes here in regard to betting is a strong one-his position in the matter is undeniably the true one. Too much praise is no praise at all. But it is neither too much nor too little...
