Once it did draw serious young men in search of a thorough, modern education Now it has little to offer. Its teachers, sadly underpaid, are at best average. Its library, once unequalled, still boasting great collections (Dante, Petrarch, Icelandic) is slowly decaying in Willard Fiske's old building. Lack of funds prevents the erection of a new one; prevents the purchase of enough new books; limits the staff to a few hardworked, underpaid...
