...have long appreciated Russian art and Russian music. We have not recognized the substantial character of the common people of Russia or the economic importance of Russia to this country. I hope that some wealthy benefactor of Harvard will see fit to endow a chair of Russian economics in our School of Business Administration. I feel sure that freer intercourse between the two countries will be of advantage not only to Russia but to America
...measures,--measures to safe-guard the University, and at the same time to help the country. I think that there might be formed a military college with a three-years' course on the same general lines as West Point. I would admit boys of the age of sixteen, physically fit, without examination, merely dropping them on their failing to maintain a proper standard in their stud- ies.

...advantages in such a change would be great. Many men have spent two and even three summers under military discipline; many who have only been in last summer's corps could easily command a company. The belief that there are only twelve men in college fit to command a large unit or to act as supply and top sergeants is unsound and untenable. The men now training here should be given every possible opportunity to exercise leadership. If some are fit for captaincies and the rank of the higher sergeant positions, there is no valid reason for preventing them...
