...part. There are as many different temperaments in a college community as there are different men. All cannot be made to conform to the same standard. The attempt to establish such a standard gives us merely the out-word form of scholarship and not its real benefits. The worth of a liberal study does not depend primarily upon the subject matter studied but upon the response which it awakens in a student...
...articles on "William Henry Baldwin, Jr.," and "George Frisble Hoar," who died recently, furnish inspiring examples of noble manhood devoted through many years to high ideals and the service of others, and are decidedly well worth reading.

There are so many football men of worth around Boston, who are eager to be of aid to Harvard football, that the coaching force has simply been swamped with men, and the results to the player and to discipline have been to say the least, unfortunate. We do not want to return to the days of two men coaching by themselves, nor does Harvard want to get along, as some universities do, with...
