...Butler has probably hit upon as grave an error in our system of pedagogy as can ever be made the subject of controversy by our educational reformers. It is that of allowing personal or national or even religious bias to enter into the teaching of the story of the past; it is compelling the student to view the events of history through the colored glass of the instructor's personal feelings and prejudices rather than being acquainted with the facts as they...

With the exception of the fact that certain unessential expenses, such as the southern trip for the baseball team and the prolonged stay at Red Top for the crew, might well be discouraged...
