...Wisconsin, or Yale,--or any University of like size, -- can not be called a "rich man's college," or a poor man's college or even a middle class college without violating the full character of the community. All classes-financially, morally, intellectually,--all sorts of activities, and all kind of interests can be found represented here. To term Harvard "a so and so college" is to limit the characterization to the point of fallacy. It were an economy of truth not to label it at all but to recognize that in such an institution the community of students...
Formal examinations, as tests of fitness for every kind of work, which disregard utterly the personal equation, are being disproved, modified, and abandoned all along the line. As regards testing fitness to do college work, we believe there is practical value in the suggestion of Professor Thorndike, that the colleges which now allow the College Entrance Board to examine applicants, entrust to it the power to credit schools on the basis of an examination of the actual success in college of candidates prepared and endorsed by that school...

K. Moderwell '12. For example, if anyone of the ancient objections to Wagner's voiceparts. has been amply refuted by the experience of the last forty years, it is that they "tend to tear his singers to pieces," as the author of this article affirms. It has, on the contrary, been observed again and again that the only singers whose voices have been seriously...
