...system of the governing boards of the College is so admirable that we cannot fail to be a little proud of it. The chief power is vested in the hands of those who are most likely to take the deepest interest in the College, and who are best fitted to judge what is for its welfare, - the graduates; we are free from all political influences which stand in the way of advancement in many institutions, and the evils which President Eliot set forth so well in his argument against a National University; we are not governed by a close Corporation...
