...American colleges into two types--vocational and cultural. In recognition of this distinction, one may hope, lies the remedy, for, if higher education, as it is understood in the vocational universities, is eminently practical, it can not be objected to as being over idealistic. A man trained in one method of earning his living has not wasted his opportunities. Everyone does not possess a scholastic temperament and those who insist on higher education for everyone "do not appreciate that all true education is self education, and that to force a boy, beyond a certain point, to remain in school...
Drawing will take place over the weekend and the results will be announced early next week. The method used will be similar to the one inaugurated three years ago. The essential point in this method is its absolute impartiality. Rooms will be assigned by lot, preference being shown to the larger groups.

...inevitable indirection of actual life. The versatility and incessant activity of Tietjen's mind-he is a mathematician, linguist and poet as well as a husband, lover, officer, sociologist and human being -do not contribute immediate lucidity to events which the reader must follow subjectively, by the impressionist method. A crucial telephone talk may last several chapters, the words actually spoken falling pages apart while numerous causes, consequences and chunks of mental and emotional background are tracked down in hurried asides. Yet such episodes, and much apparently meaningless detail-such as a sonnet composed on a challenge...
