...natural gifts. If wealth is the only object of life, not literature but all the professions must be ruled out. Enormous gains can only be hoped for in commerce. The most celebrated lawyers seldom have an income of over $50,000, and the most famous clergymen and physicians rarely receive more than $20,000 annually. The thing to be considered is not the maximum prize but the chance of success. Literature is comparatively free from the risks of failure to which the merchant is exposed. The young clergyman, lawyer, or physician often has a hard struggle to earn his daily...

All members of the University are invited...
...advantages and disadvantages. The science of medicine has become so far advanced that three years is not long enough time to devote to the study of it. Three years are not sufficient to make a man thoroughly acquainted with all that a skillful physician should know. Well-educated, scientific physicians are needed, and such men Harvard should send out, but three years is too short a time to accomplish this in. Yet most of those who have spent four years in a college think that they have neither time nor money to devote to another four year's course...
