He took one look, and then shouted to a colored gentleman, who was working over the engine of a motor boat, "Charlie...
Which of the three, then does the tutorial system help? One would hardly suggest the second or third. Do the tutors really help the first? Not unless the object of education has really been changed. The system under which most of the professors now at Harvard were educated was one which involved learning, by self-wiled energy.
