...This principle is too often disregarded by students and by men who are training for any particular object. Boating men many times fail to recognize the importance of general training but think their whole duty lies in the direct exercise of rowing or in absolute rest. The value of indirect training is not to be over-estimated. It is noticeable that men, who do not devote themselves exclusively to one branch of training but aim at a general physical development, often excel in their own specialties men who only train for one branch of athletics. The best examples of such...
...urged that these professors lead the world by the indirect influence they exert over students who are expected to be the direct leaders.

...schools which prepare for Oberlin, taking into consideration, at the same time, the comparative ages of students at admission with their consequent maturity or immaturity of mind, and also the relative breadth and liberality of culture imparted during the freshman year by influences, both direct and indirect, at either place, the substantial truth of our first thesis as an illustration remains still unimpaired. We would, by no means, be willing to use the University of Michigan in this statement as also representative of Western colleges of mediocre stamp, as the Review would seem to wish to have us do. That...
