...Professor, a man of 68, possessed of an A. B. from Yale in 1879 and a Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins seven years later, a classmate of Wood- row Wilson, first a History teacher, then President of Adelphi College, Brooklyn, then pacifist, then supporter of Woodrow Wilson and in his advancing age a leading member of such organizations as the World Court League, the League of Nations Union, the New York Peace Society, was lifted momentarily from his comparative obscurity into the national limelight. Endowed with a small fortune, sought out by greedy stock-salesmen, he lived in momentary fame...
Last Love was also first love for Miss Osyth, music teacher. She was regarded as an angel by her pupil, Minnie (Minnie's universe was peopled with angels and fiends); but when, one night, a handsome, dark apostate came wounded to her door, she hailed her lord, she washed his wound, fell from her starched Paradise into heavenly, purgatory.

So-called English composition is encouraged and the drama of Greece and Old England. But the humanities themselves are not sufficiently human to include modern life and art. "Art," of course, is a big word. Very few of the plays written for the "47 Workshop" are even good...
...What is true of the adviser is, of course, true of the teacher. We ought to have more teachers for freshmen of the same general make as the best ones in preparatory schools, but with more of a reach out toward advanced scholarship. To find such people and to provide an academic future for them in a Faculty which is just as much the Faculty of the Graduate School as it is the Faculty of Harvard College is no simple problem. Furthermore, it is most undesirable that, in freshman courses which rarely, if ever, meet as a whole, the work...
