They should result in stimulating a wider culture and a higher efficiency. If the word culture does not, the word efficiency must appeal to every young American. And every Harvard undergraduate should ponder well the demonstrated fact that without the attainment of the requisite power over intellectual problems by concentrated work, he can hardly expect to reach high place in after life.
