...striking feature of the registration figures in recent years has been the lack of growth of the College. For the past dozen years the number of undergraduates has remained practically stationary. To be sure, there is nothing alarming or even serious in this fact alone; for mere numbers should never be an end of higher education. Of great importance, however, is the failure of the College to grow in its western representation. One of Harvard's ideals is to be a national university; and this means that it must draw its students, as President Eliot has pointed out, from...
...equally represented in government. What our anti-suffragist friends have failed to see is that elections are always expressions of opinions as to interests, both public and private, rather than an actual recording of such interests.

If the best result is to be obtained, the thorough study of one subject must be contemporaneous with...
...attention in the chief occupation of life; because any direct professional knowledge that can be obtained in college is trifling compared with what can be acquired in a far shorter period in a professional school, and the attempt to obtain it crowds out some other subject that will probably never be studied at a later time...
