Former upheavals that have served to disturb the equanimity of Harvard's fertile backyard soil have at least been compensated for in part by such epic discoveries as that of the Harvard plates, dear to the heart of old graduates and more recent wives.

Fac. or the buried miscellanies and Imperial testimonies of similar secret societies be the result of the present activity, we can look for ward to little but the plebian and depressingly progressive activity of white gloved gesticulating yard oops and the existence of red and green lights...

When asked if he meant to apply both quantitative and qualitative tests to such a measure of success, he answered firmly: "Both." I demurred, insisting that at least fifteen years, rather than five years, would be required to settle the foundations of such an enterprise, and that after the first experimental period much larger financial support would be required. Making light of difficulties he declared his confidence without reservations. "It will fill a great need, he said...
