They should draw their lesson from the experiences of these pioneers, who have spared Harvard the costs of hit-or-miss experimenting. They should not shrink back from the pains of a thorough cure, if they feel that eventually it would put the patient back on his feet. For liberal education has passed beyond the stage where occasional shots of stimulants--half-hearted attempts at integration--are sufficient to hold off its dissolution into chaos.

But in local society, even organ and orchids could never quite let George Joslyn and his wife Sarah live down the rumor that their fortunes were founded on a quack cure for gonorrhea ("Big G"). The Joslyns went to Omaha in 1880 with $9 and two suitcases. In 1916 sharp-eyed George Joslyn left his wife an estate of $5,200,000, made mostly from the Western Newspaper Union (boilerplate insides for small-town papers...
