...expensive, it does not consider co-education, and the problem of men living at home." To condemn the plan as worthless on these grounds is unthinking. Equally superficial is his second criticism which states that the House Plan puts too great emphasis on the social and moral virtues of University education at the expense of intellectual virtues. Unlike the unorganized dormitory or fraternity system prominent in most American universities the Harvard House Plan definitely stresses intellectual rather than social virtues. Being in close adjunct with the Tutorial system the one supports the other. An advocate of large classes...
...there was tremendous moral indignation in Europe over that invaluable phrase, "a scrap of paper." Today, alas, there will shortly be an addition to the existing supply of moral indignation, for Japan is taking advantage of European difficulties to go a-fishing in troubled waters.

President Comstock's objection passes over the expression and concerns the characters themselves, so that it must rest ultimately upon the Greek sources of the play...

Messenger (Cornell 1881) "to provide a course of lectures on the evolution of civilization, for the special purpose of raising the moral standards of our political, business and social life." The first series was delivered in 1925 by Chicago's Archeologist James Henry Breasted. Subsequent lectures have included physicists, psychologists and geneticists. In calling another physicist to deliver the Messenger messages, instead of a great economist as "our political, business and social life" of .today might have suggested, Cornell's officials had profound considerations...
