...being somewhat amused is thoroughly disgusted with the attitude which Mr. Wheel-wright has taken on higher salaries. He has no argument. His letter, which consists solely of incoherent statements and flashy phrases such as "clapped into a limousine" and "by dint of theatre parties and champagne", is amusing enough and well fit for the latest parody on the Harvard Magazine, even when we do not consider that the author meant it to be serious. It gives very good proof that the unintentional humor is the best...
When Harvard gets enough money, we should almost double our teaching staff. Our instructors would then be delivered from the drudgery of blue-pencilling copy-books, and have leisure for that serious work by which alone an university is made. Give them a chance to be human, and the undergraduate may find professors worthy of his friendship. Then when we have more money, we might equip our poverty stricken chairs with laboratories, theatres, libraries and all the other what-nois.

There must be one king-pin, one master mind in charge who can direct and administer an unbroken policy even in these smaller leagues. This is the function of the Director of Athletics...
...visionaries are right, even expert visionaries; but the majority opinion of experts is nearly always, if not exactly wrong, at least a few years behind. And reasonably enough; for the more expert an expert is, the less willing to admit that another expert can be more expert than himself. Doubtless the man who first lit a fire with flints had to do it under the ridicule of experts in lighting fire by the method of the fathers, the rubbing of sticks, who knew that they couldn't light a fire with flints and that consequently no one else could...
