...City and near it stand the oldest landmarks. St. Paul's Chapel (Manhattan's oldest) where George Washington and New York's first Governor, George Clinton, worshipped, is five blocks from Wall Street. St. Peter's, Manhattan's oldest Catholic church, rises in the shadow of the Woolworth Building. In 1766, in John Street, the first U. S. Methodist-Episcopal society opened its first chapel.

This extension of paternalism at Lafayette may seem but slight; its significance lies in its marked agreement with a policy already casting its shadow over American college life. Whether it be the banning of automobiles for university students, the appointment of athletic captains and managers by coaches, the censoring of the student press, or just the classroom training of extra-curricular leaders, the effect is the same, a blow at self-reliance...
