...today? She makes a brave attempt and an exceedingly interesting one to solve the riddle, but it is only one of any number of answers, and may be inadequate she admits. "By and large education presupposes some real study in one or two fields of knowledge, and a shrews suspicion that other fields exist." Add to that the fact that it "is something done to you" and it is evident that if the definition is true, the University's idea of education has come close to the bulls-eye. The concentration part of our system takes care of the real...
...operation, the operative has the privilege of requesting the presence of his representative to see that he gets a square deal. In this way the tendency to deceive by stalling time was overcome, for, when shown up to his own representative, the operative has no comeback.

For some of us, it may be the knowledge that our fancies are lightly turning; but how uncertain a sign! Not until the haberdashers round the Square cry aloud that Harvard's Straw-hat Day has come, when we meet Princeton on the track...
...themselves up within a voluntary ghetto, to discharge their duties of citizenship in a humble and modest manner, in order to be able to live their own life as Jews. But instead of appreciation for their spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice, they often bring upon themselves misunderstanding and suspicion, Still others demand their full rights as men and insist also upon their full rights as Jews, and when these two come in conflict, they clamor for special privileges. Instead of sympathizing with them for their honest strivings to maintain a difficult position, the world treats them with impatience...
