...Goodwin-Fuller feud is entering new realms. What started in the first act as one of the innocuous little duds so often hurled by Mr. Goodwin suddenly exploded, and Mr. Goodwin became the ex-Registrar. Act II was a banquet of condolence at Worcester. Tragedy was shoved off the boards by a triumphal burst as friends acclaimed in Mr. Goodwin the next Governor of Massachusetts.

In his opinion this proportion is not peculiar to Columbia, but is typical of the graduate school situation throughout the United States. His statements are based not on conjecture, but on the figures supplied by the registrar of the university. Only 35 per cent of those who matriculate into the graduate schools of Columbia ever gain their degrees, and only 25 per cent, according to Dean Woodbridge, may be said to have justified the expense of their tuition. In such a situation it is clear that...
