...would be interesting to know how many Harvard men know what the Boston Vocation Bureau is, and how many of those who do have any appreciation of its importance or of Harvard's part in it.

Captain Fisher said that he was glad that there would be a permanent monument to Burr, since he was one of the finest men who ever graduated from the University...
...topic Mr. Woods took "Vocation: Democracy in the Main Action of Life." Real vocation, he said, was to know the moral meaning of the task taken up, whatever that task might be. He showed that the prevalent idea of the meaning of work as a means of controlling the greatest share of material products was fast giving way to the consideration of work and especially of useful co-operation as a means of service to mankind.
