...annual report of the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy has prompted an interesting editorial in the "Providence Journal". It seems that West Point is seeking to learn from civilian institutions, thus raising the question of what those institutions may learn from West Point.

Therefore, does it not seem more profitable that we chew on the soap and rubbers of collegiate liberalism rather than that we be thrust, ignorant and untutored, into an unpaternal world of which we know nothing? Under a liberal policy in college, we may learn not to snap at old dogs' ears when we go forth into the world. And there, certainly, lies the value of a liberal tradition. F. W. GERHART '25.
