Although some may forget the service he has rendered, his personality is ever with us. President Eliot still holds to those ideals which guided him through so many years.

The prevailing type of undergraduate, contrary to the supposed condition of youth, is too stand, too conservative, to be carried away by the expression of radical ideas. Should a fortunate student be accidentally bumped from his daily rut, panic would seize him, and the next day would find him travelling the well-beaten path of precedent again. Let us have a few rabid,--yes, flighty, unbalanced, red-flagged,--extremist lecturers. The University can stand them...
