one OF the Trustees of this COLLEGE. A
part of which | am going to quote.
The situation of the COLLEGE ought
to enable YOU all to adopt a wise selec-
tive process. svmpathize quite
strongly with the attitude taken bv
President Hopkins at Dartmouth. I
believe a very large percentage. if not
majority of the bows 90 to college
now because it is the stylish thing to
do and not because they have any par
! tlcular aspirations to become more
efficient and of greater use in the
world. To find out the boys that
ought to have such an education and
who will he of more worth to the world
if educated. is the seriou, problem
which the heads of our American col
leges must meet and solve"
This is an admirable text but if YOU
would feel more at home with one

but few are choice" for that is pre-

said Il am coming to the conclusion
more and more that the curse OF this
