...figures can show the material progress of the University enrollment statistics published today reflect a satisfactory condition of growth in nearly every department. In the College the entering class justifies the expectations as to numbers to which the entrance examinations gave rise, and when Freshman classes are large the welfare of other undergraduate and graduate departments is assured for future years. It is a regrettable fact that through many early graduations and some failures by the way the Senior class is but little more than half as large as the Freshman class. To the impartial mind it would seem that...
...welcome this great company of Delegates from the universities and colleges in every part of our country has been a true delight; to reflect what their presence means for the solidarity of American education, and co-operation in solving its problems, is an inspiration, and to me a great encouragement.

The general resemblance of the sonnets to W. E. Henley's similar series is agreeably felt...
...method of the course will be constructive rather than historical. Although the general view-point will be technical, educational problems will be treated from a non-professional stand-point. Froebel's theories reflect closely the tendencies of the romantic movement, and lead to the consideration of the work of Carlyle, Ruskin, Emerson, Novalis, Schelling, Goethe, and Schiller...
