Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, Vol. 13: Continuation of Dartmouth Bi-Monthly; November, 1920-August, 1921 It is evidently impossible to expect Dartmouth to revert to the full estate of a purely classical college, such as served well enough a generation or two ago. But it is at least hopeful that there will be no unconditional surrender to what our British brethren call the mods. There lies before such a college a divid ed duty - a duty which demands not merely the sending into the world of an army of men trained as embryotic law yers, or engineers, but also the provision of enlightened and honorable gentlemen, conscious of their inheritance from the ages as well as trained to contribute their mite to the generations yet to be. There is, or should be, more to a college education than a special fitness to earn one's living. There should be in it an element fitting one better to enjoy that living once it has been earned. To strike the accurate mean between the ancient and the modern lore is the great problem of our higher educators at the present time.
