Next logical development of the exchange professorship idea in our colleges should be the establishment of an exchange between institutions of the North and the South. Harvard has already its exchanges with Europe and with a group of four Western colleges. It is time that we should give like recognition to a great section of our country which has several institutions that are the peers of many in the North. It is all too little recognized here what merit such institutions as the University of Virginia, Tulane, and Vanderbilt represent. They can receive professors from the North in all respects...

...South does not want war. The West does not want war. And even in New England, saturated as it is with British influence, I have not yet been jostled by a young American rushing to the colors to defend other people's interests. If only our older compatriots, weak of loins but mighty of mouth and pen, could be induced to go to the front and put their noble words into action, I think the rest of us would get along, quite well, and be content to mind our own American business. Nobody seems to know exactly what the flags...
