What subject is chosen for emphasis is really not essential. The student should bear in mind, however, that some courses and some instructors, valuable to the specialist, are not suited for giving a general view. He must think of the probable advantage of his choice in after years, when simple knowledge fails, but when ability to follow the interests of his fellows is the mark...
