Alrich's main complaint is that in the past few decades Harvard has become more and more like the real world, and less and less the warm womb of "cushioned unreality" it was when he was a student. He flinches at the large enrollments of courses like Ec 10 and Chem 20, for the students appear to be forsaking the liberal arts tradition that served him and his fellow alumni so well. He complains that the professors have changed too. They now exhibit a "professorial worldiness" marked by "their eagerness to sell their advice, to fly to exotic meetings ground...
