...Freshman debating club, which has recently been organized, to establish debating again on a sound basis. It is important that the club should have broad aims, and should seek to develop its members in more than the mere parliamentary forms of public meetings. Debates with teams from other institutions ought, in such a club, to be made subordinate to the stimulation of an interest in debating for its own sake. As close a relationship as possible should be maintained with the departments of English and of public speaking, and the subjects discussed should occasionally at least be of local...

This plan is likely to be carried out next spring, as Cutler is slightly tall for the ideal stroke besides being needed at 6, where he is exceptionally good, and Newton ought not to have much trouble at stroke with three experienced and veteran oars behind him in the stern four...

Moreover, it ought to be such that he is capable of turning his mind effectively to direct preparation...
This brings us to the relation of the college to the professional school. If every college graduate ought to be equipped to enter any professional school, as the "abiturient" of a German "gymnasium" is qualified to study under any of the faculties of the university, then it would seem that the professional schools ought to be so ordered that they are adapted to receive him. But let us not be dogmatic in this matter, for it is one on which great divergence of opinion exists. The instructors in the various professional schools are by no means of one mind...
