...seems to me that in directing our attention to the exclusion of men who come here for athletic purposes, we are likely, to lose sight of those who come from preparatory schools. There is no doubt that some men go to a university for the sake of playing on university teams, their education being made endurable only by this prospect. While we are legislating, therefore, we ought to exclude all men who come from the secondary schools solely for athletics. The difficulty is to find out who they are, as it is impossible to know the motives...
...Edgeworth delivered the second of his lectures yesterday evening on "The Exceptions to the Rule of Free Trade."

Had the majority of the board restricted their report to the presentation of a plan of reorganization the injustice of their action would not have been so great...
...were Pierre Louis, Maurice Barres, Paul and Victor Marguerite and Jean Lorrain. He divided the writers into different schools, but said there was a general tendency of all which could be seen during the last ten years. This tendency was marked by a change from writing for art's sake alone, to writing for a purpose. Instead of placing their scenes in Paris these writers removed their stories from the capital. Barres for example preaches country life and M. Le Roux, believing that the French should know more about the outside world, especially wished in his own works to make...
