concludes from a tabulated statement,
carefully prepared, that of 15.142 men
who have become eminent enough to

than one-third of the eminent men Of
the country. while it has taken 500
times as many other people to make up
the other two-thirds.

versity becomes a center of profound
research and Notwithstanding discov.
