...institution which is perhaps the most destructive of German scholarship. The private docent is a young man who has just won his doctorate, who has convinced the faculty of a German university that he is an independent searcher after truth.

Captain Sturgis called a meeting of candidates the other day but nobody appeared. It is not improbable that the team will undertake a kind of training different from that used heretofore in order to avoid if possible some of the risks of subjecting untrained men to violent effort. Just after the mid-years a captain will be appointed for the tug-of-war team and regular work begun. There are some good men in college...
