...honorable mention. Collier won the debate on the substance of his speech, everything that he said having a close relation to the question at hand. His speech was well-presented, but he was surpassed in this by Ehrmann, who earned his position not so much on the subject-matter as on the way in which it was presented.

This is as it should be; the undergraduate mind has ever felt free to embrace the world entire, both fact and fancy. One expects to find, however, in that embrace more real grip than is evident in the present instance. With but few exceptions, the pieces have the fussiness of old age, without the latter's choice reflectiveness; they...
