This sort of student is in truth found upon every campus: he is a parasite to the attainment of ideal educational conditions. Yet, as Miss Brooks says, the work must be done, and since this is so, it should be distributed over the whole student body in order to prevent any one student from losing sight of the real object of his being at college. If he does this, he hurts the university morale. On the other hand he may be helping himself, for by serving in these ways, he may develop himself better than he would did he become...
...little weary of the prevalent emphasis on this same "atmosphere" and suspicious that no combination of tutors, honors and liberty could produce the ideal commonly pictured, The Dartmouth (undergraduate daily newspaper named for its college), last week, published supplementary impressions of Oxford by one Franklin McDuffee, who had studied there.

So I must claim undisputed paternity of the essay-title he mentions on the cinema as a form of art, while denying stoutly that I encourage the evils which he implies in the mysterious term "Distribution". On the contrary, movie-going...
...colloquey at Brown resulted from his failure to answer a question submitted by George E. Cassidy of the class of 1926. The question was: 'Isn't it possible that there may be a philosophy gained by evolutionary thinking which presents a worship and reverence for future generations as an ideal and looks toward the development of Heaven upon earth through the use of science: and is not this ideal a fine and worthy one, capable of producing an equally noble standard of morality...
