...attempt, however, to characterize Mr. Hudgens' poems indelibly by the utterance of a single word or by some Sphynx-like expression is as much an indication of imbecile intellect as of caustic invidiousness and of childish attempt to gain a Delphic credence. It can be done with no more justice in the present instance than that one should take a poem of Byron's lighter vein and pronounce Byron weak, or that one should call Longfellow childish because he had once allowed his Muse to play about the heartstrings of youth...

In the first place he must recollect that he has but three years in which to take these courses, and that he must not overload himself if he wishes to gain the greatest possible amount of advantage from each course. Therefore he is obliged to "weed out" the less desirable courses until he has left the amount of work he thinks he can do with profit in three years. This is one consideration in choosing electives.
