...high time then that people realize what this whole business means. Harvard is playing football for sport supposedly. She does not hold an exhibition to support professional players, still less to provide pocket money for students at large. So if any man has more tickets at his disposal than he needs, the thing for him to do is to hand them over again to the management.

The Public Library he brought into vital contact with the people to a degree not achieved before and in a way which has stimulated other libraries. In the College Library the influence of his liberal administration has been not less important to the library and to college education. His readiness to meet the wants of the Faculty, and to administer the library in the interest of the elective system fostered a change in the methods of study in the University which would have been impossible without the co-operation...
