...doing. Whether it be the already existing Art Club that takes the initiative, or the instructors in the art department, something ought to be done towards encouraging further collections of good artistic productions. The educational influence of plaster and painted works of art is too well known to need further support. Though the Boston Museum of Art affords a very fine store of such works, we very much fear that the number of Harvard men to be found in its halls is small. If we had even a much inferior collection near at hand, good results would no doubt follow...

As the elective principle is essentially ethical, its limitations, if helpfully congruous, must be ethical too. They must be simply the means...
...know in every case, that when a holder of a scholarship lives in a $300 room, and, compared to the average student, in real luxury, that man is either frightfully green and imprudent in his expenditures, or else he is frightfully dishonest in taking money he does not need...
