...care and development of the body are of an importance less only than the care and development of the mind. One might go farther, and say without much fear of contradiction that a sound body is indispensable to a sound mind. But, regardless of the exact value that may be placed upon a strong and healthy body, it will scarcely be denied that its possession is often a matter of great convenience. Why, then, should not attention be given to physical training during the same years that are given to mental training? Why is not a certain portion...
...usefulness of the college is greatly impaired. So it seems clear that, in a case like this, where the students are so directly affected, their desires ought to have a good deal of weight in determining the result. To ignore them and to aim for a higher moral standard regardless of consequences would be to get rid of one evil, and at the same time to invite a worse one-chronic discontent among the young men.

This hostility seems to be especially directed against preachers, whom they compel to get off the walks and insult in every possible way. The Faculty seems to be unable...
...case of all the lower class men. A man is expected to render an account of a year's work in three hours of the hottest weather it is possible to scare up. He jumps from recitations to examinations, and his only desire is to get through the period, regardless whether he does well or not. In many of the courses here, the lectures and recitations merely serve to point out to a man the best authorities on the subject he is studying. To read all these authorities takes all a man's time. In some courses it is almost...
