...prize winners of the college today are the strong men of the nation tomorrow, the strong men of the college tomorrow will all want to be prize winners. When that consummation is reached, and not until then, will intellectual ambition and life come to its own as the dominant element in a university of free and self-directing students, anxious to prepare themselves for the citizenship of a free and self-directing state...
...telling, but that fault can be remedied. A slightly cynical ending does not destroy the general simplicity. More ambitious and more difficult is the flight of "Tobias Medetates," the most important effort of this number. It is a venture into negro dialect; the character of Tobias is novel and strong.

The same problem, however, came...
