...well for those who know only their own department, or at the most their own and two or three others, to ponder on the fact that the official work of the University is divided into thirty-four branches, of which the College is only one; and then to think of the multitudinous student activities, formal and informal, and the five thousand individuals who go to make up Harvard. Is there any wonder that no satisfactorily comprehensive impression of it has ever been written? It demands more than an every-day confessions for the man who shall write its Comedie Humaine...
...have had their photographs taken for the 1914 Class Album. All will have proofs sent to them from which they must choose the best and return it to Notman's Studio, indicating that it is to go in the Album.

For this reason, Tuskegee has always devoted itself especially to the training of farmers. At the commencement exercises, addresses are always given on practical problems which confront the negro...
...leading article of the February Monthly is a well-written "Comment" on "Freshman Dormitories" by Charles Merrill Rogers, Jr. He fears that they may substitute a gregarious vulgarity for that individualism which has become the consious ideal at Harvard. That individualism should be fostered at Harvard is, I think, generally agreed. But that his fears are well-grounded is not so clear. Is the present system, or lack of system, as soundly individualizing as it might be? Individualism does not, I take it, mean isolation, but rather the personal independence that comes from thoughtfulness and breadth of interest. There...
