...leading member of the Harvard faculty to let the students know the reasons that actuated the large majority of the faculty in accepting the resolutions. The faculty, I hear from a private source, almost unanimously rejected the preambles. The preambles then were not our faculty's reasons for their action. These preambles, however, were written by their sole representative at the New York convention.

Their action can be looked at as nothing less than a long step back ward in the progress of Harvard toward the ideal university, and what makes this step more unendurable is its absolute uselessness. We have been yielding gradually to the views of the faculty on this point, and have tacitly...
