Wholesale penalties at prominent colleges form almost as good newspaper copy as talk of entrance limitation on racial grounds, and Yale has suffered in the same way if not in the same degree as Harvard. Moreover, by actions which smack of boarding school discipline, Yale has laid herself open to ridicule, just as Harvard laid herself open to attack by emphasizing a phase of entrance limitation which could not accord with American ideas of education...
...action and artistic pictures for the book, and few have been included that have not real merit. One innovation seems to me to be in rather poor taste--the makeup pages on pages 210 and 211 of which the like have never before appeared in a Harvard publication, smack entirely too much of prep-schoolishness.

Such is not the purpose of the true evangelist; he aims to present the truths of Christianity simply, directly and convincingly. We may not all approve of the methods of reaching men and women adopted in revival meetings, and we may not even understand an appeal that finds its way to more demonstrative natures. But although we cannot grasp its full significance, we can surely sympathize with an endeavor which aims, as we believe Dr. Chapman's does, to bring about such practical...
