...Avenel asserted that economic evolutions are independent of social changes, and have no points in common with them. The nineteenth century, in which social equality has attained to a greater extent than ever before, has witnessed the birth of great inequality in fortunes. Upon the fortunes of the laboring classes, the progress of a country has really no affect, as is seen in certain periods of French history, especially in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries...

No industry in combination and in combination will ever take the place of this first-hand original work, this productive and creative work, whether in science, in art, in literature. The greatest special function of a college, as distinguished from its general function of producing good citizenship, should be so to shape conditions as to put a premium upon the development of productive...
