That they have awakened somewhat tardily to their responsibility is attested by a frantic creation of positions, some genuinely useful and reasonable, some incredibly fatuous and wasteful. But this has been insufficient--and now the necessity for a more fundamental attack upon the problem has become apparent. To insure themselves financial security and to prevent unnecessary discouragement and strain to the impecunious, the colleges must squarely set themselves to investigate the ability of applicants to meet the necessary expenses of their support. Those who will obviously require more assistance than the college can provide should not be permitted to swell...
...will consist of just such minor adjustments; to him has descended the difficult task of rounding off the edges, and of reconciling the conflicts presented by the many innovations which have been implanted in the University in the last fifty years. This task is no less important than the creation of new institutions, and its outcome will be no less important for the University; if President Conant succeeds in so handling the evolution of Harvard as to make of it a polished and finished edifice, he will have successfully capped the works begun by his predecessors, and will have accomplished...

The rudiments of literary creation are not induced into raw Freshmen and Sophomores by a brief judgment scrawled below the mark on the back of a weekly theme, nor even in the tri-weekly 20-minute conference. In these conferences, as in the readings of themes during the lectures hours, the criticism is mostly on the subject matter and plot, and little on the technique of the writer. This is satisfactory for students aiming at earning a living writing...
