Stran 8 - It is better that mankind should be governed by wise laws well administered and by an enlightened public opinion, than by priestcraft, but it is better that men should be governed by priestcraft than by brute violence, by such a prelate as Dunstan, than by such a warrior as Penda.
Stran 31 - ... young and inexperienced assistants," each of whom meets "each of his men for ten or fifteen minutes at a time about once a month." tg) The increasing dlsor der in the lecture-rooms comes "from large bodies of students who cannot hear the lecturer, or can hear him imperfectly." (h) The "fact that ambitious students find little incentive to take honors is one of the glaring failures of our system.
Stran 47 - It is quite clear that the importance of the Greek-letter fraternity in American college life has steadily increased until it has reached a stage when it may, without assumption, claim to be a shaping element in college life. Coming into existence at the time when the antiMasonic agitation had made all secret societies objects of suspicion, and, in most cases, of active antagonism, the Greek-letter societies were looked upon with alarm, the element of secrecy being interpreted as a cloak for dissipation...
Stran 49 - ... The Halls were originally small groups of students living together, with a few teachers who directed their studies, and, to a very large extent, studied with them. At the dinner of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, one of the foremost Greek-letter societies in the country, in New York last year, it was suggested that a large fund be raised, the income to be used for resident or foreign graduate students, to be selected from the entire fraternity, with the hope of stimulating scholarly interest...
Stran 48 - ... interest in college activities depends chiefly on the graduate members of the fraternities. The mere fact of living together in small groups does not, of itself, destroy college feeling any more than dining together in large Commons develops college feeling. Everything depends on the spirit and aims of the fraternity, and very largely on the influence of its graduates. The latter can always, by precept and example, keep a fraternity in closest touch with the college, and identify loyalty to a...
Stran 48 - ... readily in the absence of fraternities as by their means; and, as a matter of fact, the young man in college is morally safer than the young man of the same age and the same opportunities of spending money out of college. Whether the fraternity house and the living together of the men in dining-halls shall segregate them and diminish their interest in college activities depends chiefly on the graduate members of the fraternities. The mere fact of living together in small groups does not, of itself,...
Stran 10 - It brings relief to wearisome routine. It checks discontent It throws over all of student life a charm ; and fills the future years with delightful memories. The possibilities of the chapter house are yet in their infancy. In their full development, they promise to...
Stran 32 - This influence, whether good, bad, or indifferent, is dominant in many colleges. If our huge faculties cannot, like their smaller prototypes, closely touch the lives of their individual pupils, may not this be done through thoughtful alumni acting on the undergraduate members of their own fraternity, thereby greatly increasing the number of those who will pursue their college course earnestly and for its own sake...
Stran 31 - Today the personal element is largely absent in our colleges, and in our larger institutions professors and students have hardly a bowing acquaintance. The present college atmosphere is too often an unfortunate one, and the college viewpoint a false one. One can get a better college education today than ever before; but without the proper spirit and training, the amount required to be done (largely without personal touch with the professors) and the distractions of college life tend to shiftless...
Stran 48 - ... faculties have overlooked. The dangers of fraternity life are, chiefly, getting out of touch with college activities and too great and tempting facilities for idleness. The danger of dissipation is practically negligible; young men who have a tendency to dissipation will find their way to one another quite as readily in the absence of fraternities as by their means; and, as a matter of fact, the young man in college is morally safer than the young man of the same age and the same opportunities...
