...paid their money for that which they will never get. This wrong has, however, been somewhat lessened by the American Veterinary College coming to the aid of the students. It magnanimously offered the junior class an asylum by exchanging matriculation tickets. This virtually places that class upon an equal footing with its own students. The senior class has not been so fortunate. We believe, however, an amicable and satisfactory arrangement will soon be made through which it will find its way out of its unfortunate position...
...faculty of the Berlin University, written in 1869, to the effect that the modern languages do not furnish a substitute for the ancient languages, "for, since as a rule the only thing aimed at in their study is a certain facility of use, they cannot serve in equal manner as an instrument of culture." In this quotation, I said, the keynote of the whole question was struck. We must keep the ancient languages in our colleges as they furnish the only successful instrument of culture. I do not believe that this aspect of the question has been sufficiently studied, particularly...
...Realschule frequently dulls rather than stimulates eagerness for knowledge. Still less are the modern languages able to take the place of Greek and Latin; for, since as a rule the only thing aimed at in their study is a certain facility of use, they cannot serve in equal manner as an instrument of culture.

If you allow this feeling to carry you away and do too much you will be thrown back in your work. How often have I heard men remark after the first day's exercise, "I can hardly walk upstairs; I'm sore all over...
...mile and a half, their most practiced distance; they had been rowing together for at least a year under professional coaching, and they were to meet a crew whose little training had been exclusively devoted to four-mile pulls, and which was, therefore, unqualified, other things being equal, to cope successfully with men whose strong point was a mile and a half spurt. Nevertheless, this crew, with their professional trainer and his methods, was beaten by Columbia. She, in her turn, was disastrously defeated in a race covering her pet distance on the Thames by Harvard. This places the university...
