...colleges who have only spent one or two years in Cambridge. This restriction seems so inconsistent with the liberal spirit which so long has marked the management of our University, that we earnestly advocate its removal. Degrees should be conferred upon Harvard graduates who have studied abroad, on the sole condition of their passing the necessary examinations...
...deny that it is the only influence at work here, or that it is so pre-eminently the chief influence that the others may be safely disregarded. Where so many causes are at work it is eminently illogical and misleading to select out any one as the sole cause of a most complex result.
