...university. Still in a measure the fostering and encouragement of letters and research must be included in the field of work of all higher institutions of learning. Five journals of research are conducted under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University; and the Pitt press at Cambridge and the Clarendon press at Oxford have long been famous. These enterprises certainly add to the influence of colleges where they are located and extend their usefulness. Harvard has done little in such ways; principally no doubt because of lack of funds...

Beside these, more than one thousand readers in the English speaking world have assisted in gathering quotations from every important book in the language. Prof. March of Lafayette College has been the American editor. An exceedingly interesting history can some day be written of this great enterprise...
...Classics should be published by Harvard College. Such an edition would have the merits of being prepared in the most careful way under the direct supervision of some of the most able scholars in America, and it would supply to this country books like those that come from the Clarendon, Edinburgh, and Glasgow presses. There is no reason why this plan, if carried into execution, should not succeed perfectly.
