Their owner is busily engaged in making plans for the summer vacation in which their presence could only be discordant. It is also doubtful whether the janitor or the "goodie" will desire to brush up on "Gov", "Ec", or even "Phil." What, then, is to be done with these former companions of midnight hours...

But is this not simply a part of the same-trend? On the continent of Europe--especially in Germany--great national compulsion, has been accompanied by a notable encouragement of freedom in the colleges. High average intelligence has been sacrificed for the creation of a small coterie of great minds. Paternalism and the intellectual ascendency of the few have ever gone hand in hand...
