years old and had achieved a repu-
tation as an authority on chemistry.
These two facts hardly qualified him
for the administration of a great in
stitution of learning, according to New
England traditions. Since their es-
tablishment the principal colleges of
the east had been governed by clergy
men past middle life. 1t was some
thing of a shock to New England to
have young man and scientist be-
come the head Of Harvard The idea
of young men and non-clergymen as
presidents has since become popular,
and this is largely due to the sue
cess of President Eliot's administra-
ton.
The name of President Eliot will
forever be associated with the de-
velopment of the elective system in
American universities. He, possibly
more than anybody else, brought
about this system, which was for
long time looked upon with suspicion
and distrust and has not yet found
universal acceptance, though to a de-
gree it's principles have been accepted
by nearly every one of our larger in
situations of learning. The system
differs fundamentally from the old
rigid curriculum of prescribed studies
III allowing a student to choose the
greater part of the studies he must
take to earn a degree. According to
President Eliot's views on the system
it promotes concentration and indi-
yiduality, equipping each student to
make the largest contribution to the
betterment of the race and combining
practical with theoretical culture.
1t has been said of President Eliot
that he is first, last and only uni
versity administrator" instead of being
first great teacher or author or
scholar and secondly a great admins
traitor. He has the faculty, highly de-
veloped, of co-ordinating the work of
many men toward a harmonious and
effective end, and he has vigorous
and impressive personality that has
enabled him to carry out his ideas
without exciting opposition. His kind
| Illness of spirit and desire TO put stu
dents on their honor as much as pos
sible have made him popular with
undergraduates to an extraordinary

One of his great achievements as
an administrator has been the steady

school. The Lawrence Scientific
