...first chapter of John in which John is questioned about himself by the Jewish priests. He answers, "There standeth one among you whom ye know not." In our minds "education" means the training of our intellects or hearts to some high and noble ideal. We often succeed, in a partial degree, in gaining this high standard.

This will be a good place for battery practice, but the space is too cramped to allow any batting. It is likely that Irwin of the Philadelphia team will be engaged to coach the nine. Among the candidates...

Each succeeding year witnesses the enlargement of the curriculum by the new courses in modern languages, science and philosophy, but not a step has yet been made to establish a course whose need is greatly felt. The fear either of the total failure, or but partial success, of a course in journalism is what deters the faculty from taking the initiative, and unfortunately there is no precedent at other colleges by which it is easy to judge the benefit of such a course. Lately, however, Cornell has established a chair of journalism, and the success...
