...human life and a complete lack of interest in everything that goes on outside of his special sphere. In Cambridge they call this tendency "Harvard indifference;" but its influence is not confined to Harvard. If our educated men are to gain nothing from what is termed a liberal education save a narrow selfishness and lack of patriotism, enthusiasm, individuality, and everything positive and definite, we had better shut up our colleges."

Furthermore, the donor in nine cases out of ten receives no benefit from his gift, for the waiter is stimulated more by the hope of the reward than by the gift when given...
