...total cost of the conference will be $21.75; $5 of this is for the registration fee, $13 for board and rooms for the ten days, and $3.75 is a special rate railroad fare from Boston to Northfield and return. For men staying a shorter period than the whole conference, the expense will be about...
...impervious to apparent estimates of success on the part of the general public. But there is another cause for the distortion of values. Undergraduates are prone to believe that athletic sports are a good measure of red blood, while high rank in studies indicates only industrious plodding. They often rate the two occupations much as savages do hunting and husbandry.

...some courses, we take the following concrete example. In Anthropology 1, a course taken by over 100 men, the students were assigned for the last conference to read 120 pages in a book of which there are two copies. Assuming that each man could cover the reading at the rate of 40 pages an hour, and that these books were in constant use, it would require exactly 14 days for the class to do the work. It is obviously impossible that the books be kept constantly in use during this time, and it is equally unfair to expect...
