...institution where scholarship has inadequate appreciation by undergraduates and almost no social incentive to encourage it, a society which has high scholarship for its ideal must recognize the importance of including scholars of character and ability along with the highest stand men.

"All Fooles" is a romantic comedy with the characters, which are borrowed from Latin comedy, appearing as types rather than well-rounded individuals.

The writer has undertaken to prove by a reductio ad absurdum that the new transient system was not responsible for the high price of board in November and December, which statement was made at the time by several members of the Association. It sounds reasonable to advocate the maintenance of both systems in use at present.
