...university an undergraduate may, if he desires, go far in his chosen field. This is important both for the men who take advantage of the opportunity and for those who do not. If a concentrator in some field gets within hearing distance of the front line trench where knowledge is being advanced, he will have a new and exciting experience. Unless he is a recluse this new experience will be passed on to a circle of friends. Even in the first year of college the intellectual interests of a group of students are most diverse, and our method of education...
...continued in the graduate schools. The embryonic doctor, lawyer, business executive, architect, and clergyman would benefit enormously from each other if they could dine together every evening during their graduate school life. At present this is not possible in most universities, least of all, perhaps, at Harvard. We may hope that time will remedy this unfortunate condition...
...undergraduate, at least, the opportunities at Harvard for a liberal education by the vicarious methods if I may call it that are most fortunate. After the first year in the Yard the students, distributed among seven Houses, live under ideal conditions for the interchange of different points of view. Of course, no one imagines that the conversation around the dinner table turns every evening on the relative merits of philosophy or economics. Friendships are formed, however, and that is the important point...
...successful history of Oxford and Cambridge colleges shows how much of an educational factor the "collegiate way of life" may be. If all the students in Harvard College were pursuing the same course of study (which was essentially the case before the advent of the elective system) or were all interested in the same general field of knowledge (as is the case in a technical school), then many if not all of the educational values inherent to the House Plan would be lost. Fortunately, in each House there is a representative proportion of concentrators in all the different fields. This...
...Vernon Struck at full-back. Harlow's deceptive offense depends on the spinner, and it is on this post that Dick and his backfield assistants Johnnie Wood and Struck will devote a lot of attention and worry. Sophomore Fred Spreyer, who is at present slated for the wingback berth, may quite possibly switch positions with Gardella. On Frazier Curtis falls the nearly impossible job of filling the combined shoes of Cliff Wilson and Chief Boston as blocking back. As leader of the interference and key man on the defense, this year's quarterback will find it difficult to avoid...
