...control of Harvard College ought not to undertake. This is very interesting. One has heard before, for sometime, that Harvard has sold out to the spirit of the times and gone in for "professional objectives" rather than "cultural ones." Dr. Flexner said something like that, and Dr. A. J. Nock, in their late internationally read books. I have heard it intimated in Oxford and Cambridge (England) combination rooms, and by professors in German and Scandinavian universities. Some Harvard alumni--notably Mr. John Jay Chapman--Have cried aloud that it is true. Now the CRIMSON assumes it and defends it--speaking...

This, the Great Tradition, exists no more in the U. S. If it did? "The educable...
...What Dr. Nock has to say: Education and instruction cannot be turned out. under present forms of organization, by one and the same institution. Accordingly, let U. S. colleges and universities continue as they are; they do good work in training the masses of ineducable persons. Private enterprise may some day found a series of educational institutions and take up once more the Great Tradition.
