Some media analysts have argued that newspapers should try to set up university-style endowments and live off investment returns. But such proposals are extremely far-fetched, as billions of dollars and years of work would be needed to fully endow the nation??s great newspapers.

...liberal-arts education has taken on a queer form indeed at Harvard College. A student may arrive here from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Va.—among the best secondary schools in the nation??ready to study mathematics. He ambitiously prepares a plan of study that allows him to earn an honors degree, a foreign language citation, and a Phi Beta Kappa key, all before his 22nd birthday...
