...latter have claimed again and again that the elective system tended, not to give a man a smattering knowledge of many subjects, but to make him one-sided by leading them into specialties. The causes for the change from the old to the new, have been fears, nay even realizations, of shallowness, of knowledge gained from the many prescribed elementary courses. The elective system seems especially adapted to promote the interests of higher education. Students are led to special subjects with a view peculiar and fitted to each one's nature. Professor Ladd is earnest and sincere in his views...

If we destroy class lines we destroy class feeling, if we destroy class feeling we destroy class athletics, and these are the chief support of the university athletic interests...
...probably because it could not) do anything regarding the prices of the pamphlets and syllabi used in such large numbers in college. These pamphlets are necessary in a college course, and it is indeed an evil that they should be sold at prices so far above their real value, nay, so far above their real value, with a good fat profit added. Is this evil incurable, and must we always be imposed on thus? Is it not somehow in the power of editors and compilers of the pamphlets to regulate the market prices, if in no other way, at least...
