...fully appreciate the far-reaching fore sight and careful wisdom that is changing Harvard from college to university, and are rather passive, not caring to co-operate very enthusiastically with the faculty. The proposed University Club would do great good by allowing undergraduates and professors to meet easily and often. But would it really offer the necessary opportunities? I think...

There is nothing more interesting than the perpetuation of family characteristics. The same thing is true of the place where men are born, of where they spend their lives. This is also true of the place of education. The man who comes to Yale University does so as a free agent, but if he once enters, a silent and irresistible influence comes upon...
