...come to Harvard. If ideas of education are changing in one way, they may in another. Promotion to the scholar is a necessity and an interest. The best will not come to a Harvard in which promotion is based upon academic drudgery.

But it has meant this: that the Press, at last a trifle uncertain about the outcome of the affair and therefore about the consequences of its Roman holiday, has resolved to give the Superintendent at least the semblance of justice. And, what is a great deal more, it has given Gill a chance to spread upon the record, in halting, impeded form, the surface of his ideas and difficulties...
