...reason why any one shall hold back from a feeling that he is unable to select any subject on which to write. The main requisite is for a man to write good, clear, forcible English; the rest will come with practice. As we have said before, editorials, front-page articles on athletics, or sujects of interest to the college, are what we want.

Peck, in his admirable exposition of Aaron Burr's political career, has very ably supported the political role played by Burr in opposition to his rival Hamilton until he comes to the darkest page of Burr's life-the attempt to dismember the Union.
