...undergraduate hears during the course of a year from 250 to 750 lectures. Adding to these the number of entertainments, concerts, and theatrical performances of a more or less intellectual sort attended during the year, the figures may well approach 1000. We are certainly given abundant opportunities--we are even occasionally forced "to sit as passive buckets to be pumped into"--but on the whole this is the method of education that we have come to regard as suitable and adequate, and indeed most of us probably like...

He recognizes the serious things in life, however, and in his hands lies the future of our Commonwealth; you are almost always sure, also, that he is going to play the game square because he is in it.
