...syllabus represents the epitome of "knowledge served on a silver platter." By its use, the average undergraduate can temporarily absorb and entire term's work in three hours and, entrenched in this manner, successfully thwart the parries of the most despotic "prof."

...took over a great many tasks that were demanded of it and the fact that it did not accomplish every one in a manner to bring praise from everybody cannot be a very serious fault. Often the work of the organization is condemned because one secretary was taken as an example of the remainder of the men in France. When it is considered that there was supposed to be one secretary to every five hundred soldiers the impossibility of every man measuring up to the standard set by the soldiers is seen. Think of the films that have been showing...
