...growth since coming to Cambridge is best shown by the enrollment. When we began work here the seminary had about gone to pieces. We began work with four men of our own and gave courses which 16 Harvard men attended. The next year we had 12 students in Andover and also taught 20 Harvard men. This year we are giving instruction to 22 Andover students and there are 20 Harvard men taking work under our Faculty. Such a ratio of increase, of course, cannot keep up, but we look for a steady growth. That indicates the wisdom of the removal...
...represents one of our greatest national assets, one of the greatest feats to be credited to our nation throughout our entire history. Enormous sums of money have been spent, and yet there is practically no taint of corruption in connection with spending them. American officials on small salaries have gone down to that tropical isthmus, have made it so healthy as to be almost a health resort, and have expended huge sums of money with vigilant economy as well as with singular efficiency in the actual work on the canal, and have done it so that there is not even...

And every Harvard undergraduate should ponder well the demonstrated fact that without the attainment of the requisite power over intellectual problems by concentrated work, he can hardly expect to reach high place in after life. It does not make so much difference...
...they made up the ablest, most courageous, and most enterprising citizens of the city, as had been the case in New York. They were after franchises and grants,--in other words, privileges. Then I went up to Minneapolis and found the condition of corruption the same. Here they had gone still further and criminals were invited to come to the city to do their work so that the officials of the city might share in the spoils. Much the same conditions were found in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Chicago. Opposition was the same in all cases. Opposition came from the slums...
