...first be tried before its success can be determined. Radical curtailment of expenses, if that is possible, may be suitable in some cases, or increased fees in others.

But if Mr. Burke's hypothetical undergraduate, with his atrophied power of choice, necessitates nothing less than a complete retraction of elective ideals, rather than the retention of their best elements in a synthetic reform, the whole problem...
