At the last Harvard Commencement, President Elliot made the following remarks:
Brethren, the president of the day has spoken of the influence which the university aims to exert through the whole range of education. I will speak of a few of these. The university examination board sends a number of experts to examine those schools which ask to be examined.
These experts attend the examinations of such schools and see the whole of it in every detail, on which confidential reports are made. The board has just finished its past years work, and is greatly interested in it.
