...intimacy seem to me illimitable and extremely desirable, but is such a system of life practicable at Harvard? I think it is, at least to a far greater degree than is now existent.

It was not until 1708 that the plan of having special instructors for each study went into effect. The curriculum was also largely modified. In addition to the classics, mathematics, physics and astronomy were taken up, and the lecture system came into vogue. Such were the universities of the past. What is needed for the future...
