University theory and practice are two different things and innovations are often more attractive on paper than in subsequent actuality. The great problem of the new proposal will be to imbue its spirit into the flesh of University administration. While grades, theses, and courses dominate the standards of University Hall, it will be exceedingly difficult to select the basic material for the fellowships and have the winners free from the present pit-falls of the Graduate School...
