“I cannot help believing that the so-called free
elective system is doomed. It has had full trial for
a generation in our oldest and richest university,
and yet it has not succeeded in reproducing itself
in its fundamental outlines to any extent as would
indicate that it will be the system of the future.

methods, they become selfish and forgetful of others.
This is a great mistake; for, the only way to help
one’s self is to help others. It should be remem
bered that in all departments of society those are
promoted who serve best.”
