The true work of the college was for a time thrust into the background. The term grind became Opprobrious in proportion as the athlete became more of ahero. But the tide has turned now. The intellectual Spirit has begun to reassert itself. It may be the part of a larger move ment - that our universities have succeeded in educating the business classes, and a higher intellectual standard is set in the business and social world without. Whatever the explanation, the fact remains, if the testimony of com petent observers may be trusted, that while the college is drawing from the same classes as before, the average stu dent comes here with higher ideals and steadier purpose. He comes now not so much for athletics or social privi leges, but because he wishes to study here. The debating renaissance is but one development of a deeper movement. The student body is realizing that its name is derived from study. The intellectual element is gradually getting the upper hand again.
