That some means of avoiding this must be invented there is no doubt. But how this is to be done without virtually taking away the political independence of Austria and making her a mere ward of the League presents an unusually thorny problem.

Dr. Lowell sought, by means of the House Plan and the Tutorial System, to broaden the knowledge and experience of those who were to be the leaders of society; President Conant, on the other hand, seems to believe that only those who are allowed to broaden their own interests with a free rein will or should become the leaders of society. The distinction lies not in the method, but in the principle...
