...most cases, fosters pernicious methods of study. The students do what is expressed by a very familiar phrase, "cram up for the quiz and forget it." They read up the chapters assigned the night before the quiz. There is no time for taking notes. They go to the section meeting remembering words, phrases, and paragraphs-mere print-and spit out all those which seem to have any application to the questions, with a sensation of relief at being rid of them.

...adopted son of John Harvard I have attended eight games in the Stadium. At only one of them, a Yale game, did the Harvard cheering show any real life. Saturday's exhibition was the poorest of all. The team lost to Purdue after a game fight; the cheering section was practically beaten before the kickoff. In six weeks, on November 19, the team will be ready for Yale. Will the cheering section profit equally from these six weeks and be ready for Yale also...
