...majority of those interested in the Union. That Harvard has not a swimming pool for the use of students, while Yale, Princeton, West Point, Pennsylvania and many other colleges are well provided for in this respect, is a state of affairs which is much to be regretted and, I think, to be remedied as soon as possible. Now that the opportunity is present, therefore, why not kill two birds with one stone, by giving the students a much-desired privilege, and by furnishing the Union with a means of drawing the students to it which would be both...
...higher the level from which the professional specializing begins, the more effective it is. German boys do not think of any specialization and individual variation before reaching a level corresponding to the college graduation. In this country the college must go on for a while playing the double role of a place for general education and a workshop for professional training, but at least the high school ought to be faithful to its only goal of general education without professional anticipations. The division of labor lies on the outside; we are specialists in our handiwork, but our heart-work...

...whom primarily are these lectures given--the ladies of Cambridge, or the members of the University? Mr. Clapp himself answered that question, I think, when, during his first lecture, he frequently and emphatically appealed to the "Gentlemen of the College," bowing at the same time, to a sea of millinery, and again tonight when he said five times "Gentlemen," and once "Ladies and Gentlemen." The floor seats closely crowded with students would indicate that these seats were reserved, but, even so, how grossly inadequate is so small a space to accommodate the large number of men who must wish...
