...moving toward these ends in an atmosphere of traditions subtly and slowly changing and yet preserving something characteristic from the beginning. Once Harvard was small now it is great. The first graduating class numbered only nine; of late commencement degrees are awarded to more than a thousand. At the outset all the graduates were trained to teach or to preach, which latter function was as much a matter of theology as the former was a matter of "the classics...
...minds of many undergraduates. The general impression is that the ultimate fate of these dormitories has been definitely settled. This is not the case. A new experiment involving so many elements and with such wide ramifications as the Harvard House Plan cannot be definitely outlined at the very outset, and the eventual disposition of the Gold Coast dormitories remains as yet undetermined...

Otherwise it forfeits its right to stand on the same level with the older professional schools. Its graduates must of course, start in the lower ranks and many may never reach the highest commands. Over their heads will often pass, though perhaps less frequently in the future, gritty, gifted men from the lowest ranks. A progressive society must follow Napoleon's maxim of "careers open to talent." But accumulating...
