...five years ago you were called to be President of Harvard College. At the age thirty-five you became the head of an institution whose history was long, whose traditions were firm, and whose loading counsellors were of twice your age. With prophetic insight you anticipated the movements of thought and life: your face was toward the coming day. In your imagination the College was already the University...
Since the early assignment of Yard rooms to members of 1905 on February 25, it has been thought desirable by the undergraduates as a whole to call to the attention of the Corporation some permanent plan, by which each succeeding class may have the privilege of rooming in a body in the Yard.

This idea of their relation has brought about an almost complete transformation, in some respects, of religious teaching, the main points of which will be discussed...

The gist of it is that the present haphazard choice of courses should give way to a systematic method of some kind, even at the cost of a partial sacrifice of the elective system.

"The Outside Dormitory: Pro and Con" is a mere collection of superficial commonplaces...
