There is a limit and it comes, we think, when college after college succumbs to the crooning voice of the New Yorker and goes after cheap radio and song sheet publicity, inimical to the interests of culture and education which a university, we have always erroneously thought, is supposed to embrace and cultivate. --McGill Daily.
