Wisdom to judge the present comes mainly from knowledge of the past; which is to say that Americans can use their institutions more intelligently if they realize how these originated and developed. On the other hand, learning, which has tended in recent eras to fall into tiny, unrelated pieces, has meaning only when it is a related whole. Thus an American Civilization Plan which still teaches history in its broadest form and still bridges academic chasnis would remain a brilliant contribution to the educational firmament...
Dartmouth does not threaten to give the Crimson much competition as a whole, but there are excellent prospects in several individual events.
