...high stand scholars. Even if the trouble does lie in American life principally, a change will come sometime; but it is the colleges which must lead in that change. The popularity of scholarship at Harvard cannot come in a day, but it might be materially increased by a broader definition of the word scholarship and by a definition of the requirements of Phi Beta Kappa...

The value of this national movement cannot...
...graduates upon different scales. This arrangement seems just to all concerned except in one particular. In publishing the Rank List it is scarcely fair to print for the same course an undergraduate's A without differentiating it from the B of a graduate whose knowledge may be far broader and more profound. It would be an easy matter to distinguish these two classes of marks, and base the grades upon a standard of progress instead of absolute attainment...
