The names of Lowell and Emerson in the past are well matched today by those of Lowell and Eliot, of James and Santayana, of Taussig and Hart. It cannot be denied that intellectual restraint does exist in many colleges. That it does not exist at Harvard is one of our proudest boasts. In theory, Senator Hollis was right: but in fact he was wrong. Harvard is widely praised and widely attacked for leading the liberal thought of the country: to attack it for its conservatism...
