Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A General View of the Proposed Plan for Cooperation in Technical Education Between Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: An Address to the Alumni of the Institute
State or an institution, is the freedom from local rivalry and com petition. Such an alliance as is suggested would seem to mean a larger freedom, not a smaller one.
When the fathers discussed so hotly the question of independence for the States, their talk was of imposts and taxes and local interests. Back of those questions which formed the basis of dispute stood the larger question, which we of to-day realize was the real issue at stake, - the question of national unity and national greatness. On a smaller scale we deal in this matter in our discussions with the details which are local and of to-day; but the greater question which stands back of these details is that of a larger intellectual life and a higher educational leadership.
