Perhaps the most significant point is this, that the proportion of men drawn from other than the New England States is largely on the increase. This evidences the steady growth of Harvard from a comparatively local college into a national and representative university. It is not so very long ago that Harvard was but a New England college with a few men from the other states. Now it is very different; and as the means of travelling are being made easier, Harvard is yearly extending...
