...work to a select group, it is clear that many now carrying such work do not get benefits from it commensurate with its cost. Some are intellectually unable to profit by the work. Others have not the will to enter into its spirit and purposes. All these men consistently neglect the tutorial work, which is being furnished at such expense. One department estimates that it costs $450 to carry a man through three years of tutorial; yet it is perfectly certain that in many of these instances the student would have derived more benefit from three full courses than from...

It is not at all uncommon to find men who are taking two heavy laboratory courses, a Physics course with a reasonable laboratory, period, and some reading course for distribution; such...
...small Southern newspaper, to the effect that the constabulary had barely prevented the lynching of a negro who ventured to object when a white man held him up and took his billfold. Mr. Mencken, even as Beaumarchais before him, found this ludicrous, but, like Beaumarchais, he did not neglect to point the implicit moral, i.e., that justice was a rare bird for the declassed minority...
