...small circulation of college literary magazines is sufficient proof that it is to outside periodicals that students turn when inclined to while away time over a short story or a discussion of a cosmopolitan problem. On the other hand it is possible that a large student public could be brought to patronize a magazine which should undertake exclusively to mirror their own life and activities.

Apparently there is nothing left but a consideration of Mr. Hanford's class number three, that of men submitting low admission records. Crucial point that it is, this problem deserves all possible attention; all other explanations of the phenomenon of unsatisfactory college work lead inevitably to the advisability of admitting men with dubious records. No scurrying about after secondary effects should be allowed to distract the attention of those committed to seeing that the right men are allowed...
