...Theoretically, every workman ought to be free to quit work when he pleases-no matter if he does so alone, or in company with all the workers in his industry. Practically he is not free; the action of one economic group is no longer without immediate and vital effect on the others...
...matter to which I wish to call attention has in previous years been discussed and rediscussed. It is, however, of such vital interest to a large number of Harvard men that a few remarks bearing upon it will not be out of place at this time, but on the contrary, should be quite opportune.

It is highly probable that an ingenius architect might devise some simple expedient whereby a current of air might be induced to enter at the base of the shait and escape through a suitable vent at the top, thus securing an adequate circulation of fresh air without admitting rain and snow. Such feats of engineering nave been accomplished...
