Colleges as a rule are opposed to socialism. They do not deny free speech, but exert their influence against it by pure indifference. In spite of this, however, socialism is slowly bringing about an educational awakening at Harvard, and in some western universities has already made great progress...

Such conditions apply to the average undergraduate, and hence there is little doubt that the institution of the projected idea would immediately manifest itself in a much higher average mark. That, then, is the great justification for the proposed move: it will tend to induce every...
