...must be tolerant of the sentimentalists: perhaps their misguided mouthings will rouse someone, like the Advocate's contributor, to answer them; and perhaps he will arouse other answers in turn. Even bigotry has its uses...
Talk has been current lately as to what share the alumni should have in the direction of a university. An article in the last Graduates Magazine traced "the growth of non-resident government" at Harvard, while a recent contributor to the New Republic denounced the tendency of graduates to exert too much unintelligent influence over an institution's affairs, which they are able to control on account of their financial responsibilities.

This is rather deceptive. Is, say a three-day concentration period, able to compare in value with a four month stick-to-it period? Or is concentration a desirable so rare that a little of it will...
