Marriage vacates a scholarship. Should a scholarship lapse, through the failure of a student to give satisfaction to his college, from marriage, from resignation, or from any other cause, it will not be filled until the year in which it would naturally expire. Unless exempted, scholars will be expected: (1) to reside in college for at least two years; and (2) to take any degree for which they may have qualified...
...writer of the editorial in the Harvard Magazine calls for "professional spirit" on the part of the CRIMSON editors. In that phrase one seems to feel the heavy hand of maturity. Perhaps the voice of some graduate student speaks, who has recently come to know the joy of sustained effort in preparation for a profession.

...chief value of a college education lies, not in any specific facts the student may learn, but in a general wide development. College should teach men to face life, not merely a particular phase of life. But the trend of changes at other colleges is toward practical efficiency--it is essentially a part of that paternalistic Prussian atmosphere which pervades the country. The inauguraters of these changes seem not to care whether a man thinks, so long as he is a good cog in the machine of government...
