...admitted that there are certain men who do stand aloof from the opportunities which Harvard offers. Such men are apt to be not only indifferent, but intolerant. The College is so large that it is impossible that there should not be a great number of men who are content to criticize the activities of others and to derive benefit from them without making any effort to do their share.

Great educational centres are developing in the middle and far west, which seem to provide suitable opportunity for higher education in the regions where population is increasing most rapidly. On the other hand, the experience and prestige of the Harvard graduate schools leaves them almost preeminent, and as more and more...
