...Elective System, while it strives to remedy it. Their suggestions should certainly be received with some consideration by us, as the opinion of men whose desire it is that we should leave college with minds not narrowed by prejudice or conceit, and yet ready to do some especial work, and do it well and worthily of Harvard...
