Whether or not you feel that Homo sapiens is an advance over hippospongia, multiplying application rates suggest that this traditional academic program still has something to offer to somebody.

...views of the academic machine therefore suggest two congruent functions. The apparent purpose of the machine is to grind out up to date versions of the truth. But at the same time our machine is turning out the truth, it is also acting as a social escalator, helping the unsocialized ambitions. Needless to say, neither function can survive alone.

...raised by soliciting funds outside the University, the Council should consider once more relying on the support of the student body, unreliable and inadequate as it may be. The Council, disliking the appearance of hoodwinking the incoming freshmen in order to raise funds, and quite rightly not wanting to suggest a compulsory universal student tax, now faces the problem of operating on what they consider to be an insufficient budget.
