I Yet in the judgment of those who
I plainly in less satisfactory condition
than work done in the better schools
of law and medicine. They have been
prosecuted with sincerity and energy,
but too often without vision. Their
tone and quality have been marred
by a scattering and uncertain pre-

minds of rare promise. generous RI
