He says: "The smallest college in

different careers in later life. 1t Is in
the mingling Of these diverse elements
that the social intercourse of a college
operates most healthily. No
outside associates will contribute to
a mans education more of what is
fresh and unfamiliar than will meet

small college puts upon him the COM

all the men to know one another, and
they assort themselves accordingly in

sectional interest. AS social organ
