...outside of the financial benefit accruing to the Endowment Fund, such a trip would undoubtedly raise the name of the University throughout the country. In times past, Harvard was content to rest on its worth alone. Those who came to test that worth were welcome, but no effort was made to encourage their coming. As a consequence, only the ones who lived nearby did come here, and the charge of sectionalism was made against the University. In the last fifteen years, due to the work of the Harvard Clubs, the cause for the prejudice was largely overcome. But the words...

A test like the entrance examination eliminates many of the fit and not all of the unfit. The uniformity acquired by such a system makes it easier for the college, no doubt. But what the manager gains by a "system" the managed lose; and their loss is the loss of the community...
