...from the Western cities come to Harvard as compared with the number that go to other universities, that a boy in a Western preparatory school can get very little accurate information in regard to life here. Whatever information he gets is apt to be misrepresented by some friend who is trying to persuade him to go to another university.

When he grew up, he formulated an artificial language, Esperanto, but met with little success until 21 years ago. Since then, interest in the new language has grown steadily, and today there are over 700 Esperanto societies and more than 400 magazines spreading the language over the world...
