...Madrid not a single paper dared to mention it at all until Don Miguel was ready with his own version. Suddenly members of the so- called National Assembly?which has no parliamentary powers?heard the click of the Dictator's silver spurs and beheld him mounting the Tribune in full regalia. They saw a beefy, self-indulgent man, but withal keen-eyed and striking despite his paunch...
This division may be a salutary one. But it seems that conducting specialized work along with the general would establish a more equable balance between the two. A student with three full years to absorb his entire subject for examination at the end of his course will have sufficient background by his Senior year to attempt a specialized job in the form of a thesis, while he is finishing his general work on his field. Each portion of his work should profit from association with the other. The final divisional examination then becomes a true test of general knowledge clarified...
...fire companies more or less organized this system, providing an engine house for the pump, and delegating only a certain proportion of the population to the duty of fire fighting. At every outbreak, the firemen of different ranks were there in full regalla, distingulshed by white leather painted caps with gilded fronts, ornamented by the insignia of the engineers, fire wardens, or ordinary firemen. The mayor, recorder, and aldermen were also supposed to be present, although their value as fire-fighters was problematical, and could be known by their white wands with a gilded flame at the top.

...final college year, one cannot but wonder if the preliminaries are truly sound. There are dangers inherent in the program. The dismissal of the entire field after only two years of undergraduate study is too likely to be a real dismissal of a mass of fact considered unworthy of full understanding in the face of the more specialized work awaiting the student. Two years can hardly give an undergraduate a mastery of his field sufficient to quality him for intensive study in a portion of it. What it will give is a birdseye view whose details fade rapidly into...
Examinations were made to be passed, but the character of the divisional may be changed by making it merely an opportunity for the student to organize and express what he has learned of a whole subject in three full years of study and reflection. In the freedom of extended time the less ambitious will find an advantage and the capable undergraduate will more nearly approach an understanding of his field sufficient for him to attempt a small specialized job in the form of a thesis in his final year. From a hurdle for the honors men the divisional becomes...
