...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 a certain period must be sought for elsewhere than in the system of college training...
...show that the custom of secret practise is merely logical. Nearly everyone has attempted, usually unsuccessfully, to take down lecture notes with two or three friends discussing an interesting episode within hearing distance. In a similar way the players on the football field cannot get the maximum amount of help from the coaches, nor can they carry out the suggestions of the coaches properly when their attention is being diverted by the presence of observers on the side-lines. One of the greatest features of the Haughton system is the ultimate polish which every play must have before...
...power of recommending their disciplinary and scholastic decisions to Dean Yeomans, who is a member of the Administrative Board, undergraduates ought to feel more willing to regard the Deans as their real advisors and helpers.

If this new system does succeed in producing a normal relationship between the student in difficulties and his logical helper, the dean, the advantageous results will fully justify...
...organization in the University responsible for collecting this material, tabulating it, keeping it up-to-date, and maintaining the outside contact necessary for genuine information concerning various opportunities.

If a professor is generous with his time and thought, he can help scores of students every year; but if he is too preoccupied with his own academic duties, he may neglect this phase of his responsibilities altogether...
...extraordinarily successful season this year, winning second place in the Intercollegiates in Cambridge, and beating both the University and Princeton in dual meets. At the beginning of the indoor season, the prospects were poor, as there were only seven "Y" men on the squad. But with the help of an efficient graduate advisory board, a new track cage was erected for the accommodation of the hurdlers, sprinters, and field event men. Mr. C. E. Coxe again offered the Willisbrook cups in individual events to stimulate competition during the winter, and a special car to the Harvard meet was offered...
