...full of thoughtful suggestions, and it is written in the spirit of earnest investigation which will eventually find the right result "Participation in sports and games," he says, "furnishes the principal, if not the only practical training in ethics that exists in our modern educational system." With this remark in mind, it is evident that athletics are worth all possible of torts to save them...
...Liberal papers. And so the Campus pictures its own Liberal Club as a group of young, bearded Bolshevists, who, in the words of one in authority, "like all Liberals, can only see one side of the question." We might venture an opinion, here, that both the conception and the remark are unjust.

This cryptic remark might be the subject of endless discussion. The aim of the American college should be, not to give its students the technical training and tools of their future occupation, but rather to fit them to be citizens, to develop those qualities that lead to the better life both for themselves...
