yet to a certain extent an old fogy. He is a
live man, and has done much to break up
the Procrustean old system Of learning, that
required every young man to learn Greek or
nothing. The course Of study at Harvard,
largely owing to President Eliots influence,

THE PRESIDENTS CHAIR they had started
Harvard as an educational institution. IL
was established by the state, or what served
as q state in those days, the authority OF the
general court of Massachusetts,.
Nov. Z, 1886, will therefore be the 25Oth an
niversary of the founding Of the college. TINS
is why a fuss is making over Harvard about
this time. 1t has remained from the begin
ming the most important seat of learning In
the United States. AS good an education
can be obtained at either Michigan uni
versity or Cornell, with their broad tounda-
tons and modern ideas, but the traditions

years can give are all ON the side of fair Har
ward.
