This you could give--and yet still extra-curriculum is where the real lux and the real veritas linger. "Give me wherewith to stand and I will move the world." So we cry unto you; but as a University you will not hear--you nod wisely, and build your requirements for the average man who does not exist, and think not at all of creating that place on which the genius, which...

If it is re-defined as "the desire to do good to some men in order that one may obtain one's diploma," wherewith shall it be philanthropy? If social service is to be made the equivalent of a college course, why call it social service--and, above all, why call it volunteer work? Perhaps, it is hide-bound conservatism that forces the Princetonian to take a reactionary view of this latest development of higher education spurting from the very fount of Knowledge; yet, the Princetonian...
