...purpose of getting the subject under discussion, I shall give a definition of what a liberal education is. Making definitions in this field is a favorite indoor sport with me and I had the fun of making up another one today. One means by a liberal education the process of so informing and training, and inciting the mind that it will go forward steadily on the road to understanding of the life to which it belongs; so informing, and training, and inciting a mind that you can count on it that that mind will travel, will go a certain...
...spoke at Ann Arbor, recognizing the necessity for educational experiment, each pointing out different lines for such experiment, and each emphasizing the importance of student contribution to it.

Particular points in the program will soon be proved or found wanting by the simple process of trial and error. All three schools are in the first rank. Norman Batchelder, Principal of Loomis, is a former Harvard athlete, and Arthur F. Howe of Taft a former Yale star. Their influence is likely to prove decisive in the history of school athletics. They have, further-inore, set the pace for the colleges. Signs are not wanting that such agreements will be multiplied...
