...truth of the question is that a man who is blessed with a genius for writing will become an author with or without college training. Mark Twain gained his college training in a printing office and a pilot house, and Cooper gained his on board a fighting ship. Schools of authorship will probably never exist, for the man who specializes in the art of authorship will need little help in the selection of his courses. College training will help these men of gifted ability, but it can never produce them. The reasons for the lack of literary geniuses during...

It has developed a strong public opinion and capable leaders. The American government has fitted the Filipinos for immediate independence. The affirmative case is based on the ground that...
From results of the Phillips Brooks House collections it appears either that charity this year is unusually widespread, or that the committee possesses an executive genius. More than ten times as many text-books, four times as many magazines, and slightly less than twice as many articles of clothing have been obtained this spring as were a year ago. If this demonstration is considered a criterion, the communication regarding musical instruments for French convalescents may be received in the spirit which it deserves...
