...position of the resident tutor, inspite of his task of justifying the investment of an almost fabulous sum, is not unpleasant. He arranges his books in a wainscoted study, gets marmalade for his breakfast toast free of charge, and is left to enjoy himself pretty much as he will. He may take any attitude toward his position, considering it a comfortable, comparatively inactive, monkish life; or he may realize all its possibilities, mingling with students, pouring a few ideas into the impressionable void. For the best resident tutors, men who take the second attitude, the future holds little. Being...

In her concluding paper ("How Should One Read a Book?") she drops a cogent hint to readers of whatever kind: "Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction...
...dismissal resulted in active protests on the parts of the students. Certain students were suspended as result of a disturbance in front of a police court. In considering the case we must remember that a college is not a body politic. The citizen enjoys rights which the student does not enjoy. One of those in the right of controlling those in authority.
