...carry the day. And if, moreover, it be not wholly unreasonable to suppose that the Harvard alumni will ultimately win their alma mater to their principles, can it be an altogether vain speculation for us to hope that in the race of American colleges, Yale will continue to head for Harvard after Harvard has headed for Princeton and, that, Princeton's educational principles acknowledged supreme, Princeton will naturally take its place as the most advanced college in America?

What college is it that stands head and shoulders above all other New England colleges in matters of requirements for admission? Why is it that a certificate from the larger preparatory schools will admit without examination to nearly every New England college with the exception of Harvard? Again, why is it that a year of extra study is necessary for admission to Harvard beyond what is required at other colleges? Who can "enroll his name upon...
