...fail, however thoughtless he may be, to be influenced in the direction of good. It is this circle of the older professors at Harvard that makes us fell proud of our university and it is to their personality that we shall look back when we shall have gone forth from her walls. Every student who has the good fortune to come in contact with these men feels that he is bettered by that contact and that he is bettered by that contact and those who did not know them still feel their influence in the higher tone that pervades...

From this he passed on to notice the fact that ever since the canon had gone forth from the teachers of the sixteenth century that certain studies and no others should be considered the "liberal arts" and be imparted as such, no means had been found for gaining recognition for the languages of today or for the physical sciences as studies of equal weight and dignity...
