...larger implications this movement is of the greatest importance. One foreign scholarship which brings a specially qualified student to this country to study can accomplish more than any number of meetings of peace societies in which outlawry of war is discussed.

To accomplish this work is a heavy tax on, both the university officials and the student body. Men are kept back from advanced study until they possess the necessary key to unlock the storehouse of much knowledge. Considerable time, as well, is spent in elementary work that might better be done...
