...while the rest of the faculty has departed for Stanford and Johns Hopkins, a number of University professors will remain to "push back the frontiers of knowledge" and give an annual series of three lectures (open to the public); where 48 undergraduate Houses will be connected by a subway system centered at University Hall Under, beneath the office of the Dean and Traffic Coordinator of Harvard College, who will encourage the purchase of Shady Hill and Amherst to "make it an even 50"; where during half-hour meal periods packaged food-trays and powdered milk will be served by members...
...presence of bright Faculty lights gives the lecture system some value, but either the lecture system is not as good as it should be, or it has been thrust too far into the foreground of our educational practices.

...ruling class had such influence over the child mind. A well-flogged lordling of Dr. Keate's Eton, a Dickens character sniveling in Dotheboys Hall, or even that refugee from the U.S. prep school, Holden Caulfield, would shed a tear for the winners in the Russian school system. It is a system destined to convert the countenance of a child into the Gromyko mask of panslavery...
