...holiday, the holy day, the holy mass of Christ. If we young men believe what we believe, the contrast of what the world is and what it should be, must be terrible...
...young they are; how ridiculously, persistently, impossibly, incessantly young they are!" is the inevitable comment of the man or woman who goes back to a college function three or four years after commencement. For instance, last night at the Hasty Pudding Club, where the Harvard Dramatic Society gave its fall production, there were all the same sights usual just a year or two ago. There was the eagle-eyed mama, chaperoning her daughter; the wild company of the mild, harmless, and altogether blameless Harvard boy who sat on the other side of mamma and imagined he was seeing life...

Yet there is nothing very notable in the collection, one receives the same impression that one so often gets from Harvard papers: here are a lot of clever young men who have read a good deal and know how to write; they are civilized, intelligent, sensitive, literary--but they haven't very much to say for themselves.

Jacks, an Oxford scholar, and now editor of the Hibbert Journal, came to America to study under James and Royce. More than this, the fame of the department attracted even the undergraduate, and young men who would not otherwise have studied philosophy at all enrolled for one or more courses just to be in contact with the department's distinguished men. Of the five men mentioned above, Muensterberg was the only survivor. James and Royce are dead, Palmer has retired and Santayana has gone...
