...Harvard must earn their own living after they leave the college. If they look askance upon politics, it is because politics does not offer them a living. He would be an ill-advised youth who would rush into the political arena in the vain hope of honorably wrestling therefrom a competence sufficient to maintain him in his early years of struggle. Where would he begin? At the bottom of the ladder; in the common council, perhaps. There he would receive no remuneration.

It is rightly the constant end and aim of this university to seek to increase the proportion of workers among its students. Some drones there must be here, of course, so long as the university is poor; for the drones play as important a part as anyone else...
