...been said that universities are the last places into which reform penetrates; but we feel that there is a tendency in the right direction here. If the German system were adopted, Harvard would no longer train up hot-house scholars, but men who would put forth their best energies, not for marks, but to assimilate their studies...

As matters now stand, one or two men are regarded as invincible, simply because they train somewhat, and have speed enough to beat their utterly untrained opponents in a canter. By handicapping these men the chances would be equalized, and others induced to train really hard, while the invincible few would have to work all the harder; thus speed, time, and men would all improve...
