...regular course Of course officers doing that work are credited when they return to take up their regular college work. Privates who went directly into service and had no opportunity for any study whatever could not expect to be credited for work which they had never done or attempted to do. That was not because of discrimination but the unfortunate fact that they were not able to study while they were in the service...
...Intolerance was utterly detestable to him. Himself a man of strong opinions, he was always ready to listen to those of others. He fairly revelled in a stiff argument, provided his opponent would 'play the game.' He was never guilty of 'talking down' to anyone, and fiercely resented it, if anyone tried to 'talk down' to him.

It is the fault of Harvard graduates that their confidence in the Alma Mater's superiority never permits them to explain her advantages. But because her advantages are so well understood by them is no assurance that others understand. Harvard needs the southerner and westerner. Unless she is to dwindle into a local university she must recruit more of her sons from the great regions beyond New England. They bring a new point of view which stimulates...
