President Lowell was acutely sensible of this problem; throughout his policy was dictated by the necessity of keeping the growth of personal education, and its increasing costs, parallel with the advance in endowments...
...Parallel bars and a leather horse were all that was needed in Manhattan's Car negie Hall one night last week for two Russian dancers to show what could be done in the way of acrobatics.

The first overlooks the fact of technological unemployment, and postulates that machine growth which makes total and paid employment an impossibility, can run parallel to government control which makes total and paid employment an ideal; the second is based on technological unemployment, and on the gradual reduction of labor which machine development will bring...
