Liberal education is not safe and strong in a country in which the great majority of the men who belong to the intellectual professions are not liberally educated. Now, that is just the case in this country. The great majority of the men who are engaged in the practice...

I have heard complaints from within and without that its rules were too strict and exclusive. But I do not hesitate to say that I hope they will never be modified. And this, not be cause I am a snob, but because I appreciate more and more every day the practical value of a liberal education, and because the University Club stands before the community...
