...meanings of the word "education" are manifold. Perhaps the most significant is to teach the people to judge by reason and not by emotion, collectively and individually. Examples of this are on every hand. Perhaps the greatest need is in financial matters, for the aggregate ignorance of the 110 millions in this country, as far as affairs economic are concerned, is nothing short of appalling. When a man like Henry Ford advocates the substitution of some sort of land standard of values for the gold standard, in addition to the many proposed changes chronically being aired, there is good reason...

The man who altogether neglects them usually proves to be an intellectual...
...also easily followed directions for regaining the outside world. There would be no more excuse for such a favored victim of shipwreck to remain alone on his island, than there is for a Freshman or an Unclassified student with access to the Register to fall to discover the manifold opportunity. Harvard holds not only for others but for him. To quote the book itself, "There is a whip in Harvard for every man's hobby", and in its pages it is made astonishingly clear that he who falls to win recognition in the interest or activity he pursues, can have...
