...with the co-operative spirit and purpose of this Congress, and we wish all success to its deliberations. Even if little of immediate practical importance is accomplished, surely a great world movement for student co-operation will have been launched, and the very launching, will have been more than worth while. When M.

Possibly the isolated genius does not flourish in these pages, and perhaps there are here no signs of that rara avis, the average student.
