...second gift is the system of education for the purpose of acquiring not mere knowledge, but the power to use our faculties to the utmost. It is in just this point that a college education is apt to be wanting, and it is for just this point that Harvard has made a stand. At Harvard first of all colleges was abandoned the time-honored custom of requiring certain passages from the classics for admission.

It is our part at present to carry out this practical side of the question...
...speaking in the CRIMSON a few days ago of the possibility of a gift from the Fayerweather estate, we gave a list of what seemed to us the University's most pressing needs. One of the most prominent of these was that of a new library reading-room. In behalf of this object we wish to say a word thus early to the authorities who will dispose of the bequest just announced. To no other purpose could the money be so advantageously given. Moreover, it was Mr. Conant's wish, we understand, that a building bearing his name...
