the records OF the institution he couldn .
command the funds and benefits necessary
to run a modern college.
1t is said that Eliot Of Harvard when
he wants hundred thousand dollars SIM
ply takes n turn into Boston ana looks
about him until he spots the citizen that
he knows has that amount to spare and
then buttonholos him and in i've minutes
he gets the mon, for Harvard.
Andrews couldn't do that, / suppose.
And so Brown University was some
