...minority rule. But they do introduce positive benefits. They raise the calibre of the legislators. When corruption is taken away from our legislatures, better men will seek to enter them. Moreover, the initiative and referendum benefit the electorate at large. By them the people are brought in closer contact with their public problems. Thus they learn about their government and are better able to exercise their functions as members of democracy...
...fundamental principles of government, said Mr. Garfield, must be learned not alone from text-books, but from experience and contact with men.

In addition, special lectures are invited for short periods to give expert information on special subjects...

In addition, Professor Copeland has often...
Those who have known Proessor Palmer but distantly and during only one College generation have missed, often unconsciously, a contact with one of the few really great teachers Harvard has had the good fortune to number within its Faculty. Graduates and others who have known him intimately remember him as an inspiring teacher and as a steadfast friend. His breadth of mind, but especially his unbounded sympathy for the sometimes petty, sometimes momentous, troubles of undergraduate life, have endeared him to our fathers and older brothers for ten College generations. How many of us will be able, at three score...
