But, where, Oh, where, Venerable Sir, are we, the Freshman Puppies, to learn the ways...
...furthermore it is doubtful whether paternalism at Harvard is an absolute evil. A liberal tradition is all very well; but it implies a general degree of maturity in the students considerably higher than that which we know to exist now. Far too many men enter college as "prep. school" students, and far too many remain such for two and three years, to render advisable an entirely liberal attitude towards them. And if a certain degree of paternalism is effective in maturing these men, it does not on the other hand work any great harm to those who do not require...

...have been able to discover with much success how a candidate for a college degree may be ranked except by written examination. The chief difficulty lies in defining "personality" or "well-rounded development". What is it the prospective student must or must not have? To one man, the "prep" school graduate may appear a model youth of great promise, while another is likely to find him singularly stupid. To fancy that a certificate of rating will accurately pigeonhole a man, indicates a high degree of optimism if nothing else...
