...here, it seems to us, the petitioners have gone astray. They seem to look upon the new relations between Harvard and the Annex as an accomplished end rather than as a first step towards an end. They see something which is unsatisfactory and they reason that therefore it is wrong. Unless we are very much mistaken a majority of Harvard professors and some at least of the overseers also feel that it is unsatis factory, but,- and here is the important thing,- under existing circumstances an unsatisfactory thing is the only thing possible.

In obedience to natural laws if I put my hand in the fire it will be burnt, so if we do anything that is wrong the effect on our character will certainly be for the bad. Every act good or bad brings an equivalent compensation. But if we try to make this law of exact return the guiding rule of life we are sure to make a failure. Suppose a family tried the method...
