...systematic management of the Hall on the part of the directors. In view of the enormous difficulties connected with the Hall, the changes recommended seem to us wise and reasonable.

The young men who look to you for guidance are Americans; could you not manage to include at least one American author in the list of those from whose works you select the subjects for your entrance examinations in English literature. Is there none in all the list who is worthy of such recognition by a leading American college, or is it the deliberate judgment of Harvard College that acquaintance with American literature is wholly unnecessary...
