...definite reasons for voting against Tammany. Mayor Hylan, addressing the crowd that cheered him upon his reelection, urged the newspapers to "reform and change their course". This is good advice, though not in quite the sense that "Hizzonner" intended. If the press hopes to overcome the corrupt influences and mould public opinion, it must change its methods.

Such a sentiment must of course result in a plea for the abandonment of scholarship as the fundamental test of entrance; personality is suggested instead...

If enough scholars applied the enrollment limit might be reached but the fact is that most of us are too dull to enter so easily.
