If we could keep before our mind's eye some definite set of subjects which ought to afford a broad, liberal education, such perhaps as a well-devised...
...highest possible success attained. The slight personal expenses to be incurred should not influence men to the detriment of the plan in so much as similar expenses are incurred periodically for a purpose far less worthy.
