...class-he could make a good start by comparing myself as the awful example quoted by Mr. Tunis, and the actual facts. Mentally I was good enough to complete the four-years requirements at Harvard in three years with cum laude ranking, and a Phi Beta Kappa key. and only recently I managed to answer TIME'S general information test 97% correctly, so the old faculties seem to be working reasonably well.

The prophets who foretell the eclipse of Harvard are blinded by the physical aspects of the occasion. The key to the future is the same one Harvard has used for the past three centuries. It is expressed in the simple command of President Conant: "We must plan for the future in terms...
