...will be logical you must needs agree that the humanities must go. If you are in need of arguments you might use the following in some future editorial: a university is essentially like a pickle factory in this respect; it is to be judged by its product. And an examination of the careers of the men who have studied the humanities demonstrated conclusively that these studies have survived their usefulness. Any system that turns out such intellectual pigmies as Lord Macaulay or a Gladstone deserves just what the twentieth century gives it--derision. A. L. GARDNER...
...work of the cadet corps in the fall consists mainly in thorough instruction in close order drill and the manual of arms, with tent pitching, bayonet exercises, calisthenic drill and the like. The corps continues out-of-doors drill even through the winter months, except when such work is absolutely impossible. At such times the corps is addressed in assembly by men of authority, or meets by companies for instruction in and discussion of field problems in detail...

During the entre-acte, Mme. Farrar sang the national anthem in the presence of the enraptured house. There can be no question that patriotic America is seen at her best on a first night...
...very few noteworthy cases. The University teas (stiff, unnatural functions that they are) are never largely attended. As for professors, only two or three, in the writer's knowledge, hold regular recep- tions where a student can come, listen to what is said, and answer for once like an original being according to his own thoughts. Some students, fortunate enough to get letters of introduction, may thus meet a professor or two on a little more intimate basis. But surely there is no approach at Harvard to the easy familiarity of the Oxonian with the Fellows of his college...
