...raise these doubts this afternoon, gentlemen, in order to solicit your support in holding the balance even between the practical and immediate on the one hand and the fundamental and enduring on the other. For it is from ardent friends of the university that many of the demands arise that seem to me to threaten the long-term contributions of the Harvard company of scholars.
