...same, and are often far from similar. With their ability to good-humoredly juggle their multitude of commitments, a great number of athletes fall into the former category; with their grim resolve to crack their books as their overwhelming top priority, many Harvard students fit the latter classification. A top-notch academic record does not confer merit in its own right: it must be complimented by a range of other attributes, including (but not limited to) honor, flexibility and determination.

Or it could be saying that one needs to choose morality and love over wealth if and only if and a choice presents itself. If the latter is (dubiously) the case, then the evidence of riches all throughout the Thompson Room does not disprove their donors’ having chosen to be moral...
