...Walker, speaking for the Yale News, took as his subject the effects of a college paper on broadening college spirit. With its many good effects, college spirit is nevertheless liable to make the undergraduate think solely of his alma mater, because he either goes to college for study, or else only to make acquaintances. By publishing items of general interest and by keeping in touch with other universities, the Yale News is trying to obviate this disadvantage...
Journalism is an activity which ought to engross college men greatly. It is the only aspect of American life which has deteriorated in the last thirty-five years. We need an invasion of academic spirit, honor and sacrifice to raise it above its present mediocrity and to make it an open, powerful and beneficial influence in our modern life.

The vital point is the importance which those universities have attached, and persuaded the public to attach, to the winning of honors. It is that spirit which must be cultivated here if we would foster a desire for scholarship in college. So long as the distinctions achieved in college are not worthy of perpetuation, or are not deemed to be so by the university itself, it is idle to expect the students or the public...
