But has it the right virtually to cast off a man who for thirty-six years has served it faithfully? It has decided too late that it has no need of Mr. Baker. His aims and aspirations have long been known; the university has accepted his labor and expressed its gratitude, but if it intended to do no more it should have made that fact clear to him long...
