...strangely sensative mental temperament, and his imaginative cast of mind often made him appear inconsistent or even insincere when he really was not. As he achieved success, and as he realized more deeply the burden that was his, in that proportion he placed public needs above private aspirations...
...Mens sana in corpore sano"--or, as the translators will have it. "A sound mind in a sound body"--is a much-slighted adage during the mid-year period. It is disagreeable weather; and fourteen hours of tinkering the mind to a state of pseudo-soundness, seems to please us better than thirteen hours on the mind and one on the body, which more closely follows the wisdom of the adage.

There is still a third argument silently voiced in the University's rule which allows only two elective Composition courses to count for a degree. It is based on the idea that Composition is a cinch, that it requires less work than ordinary courses and should, therefore, not be encouraged...
