Organization of Harvard University." Although brief, it contains 

 many thoughts that will remain as permanent maxims. It gives in a 

 convincing manner some indisputably correct opinions on the duties 

 of the students, instructors, and administrative officers of a true 

 university. 



His kindnesses were experienced also by other students ; and, 

 whatever may be said of his failure to be instructive to those who 

 could not comprehend his teaching, no one ever complained that he 

 was severe upon those who failed to profit by it, while there are many 

 to give hearty praise for his sympathy with them in their difficulties 

 with their college work. He realized that a student's career at col- 

 lege, especially where all studies are prescribed, is not necessarily an 

 infallible sign of his success in later life, and kindly interceded with 

 the faculty in behalf of many students who were unable to master 

 their prescribed work. 



It is therefore chiefly from a feeling of sincere gratitude to one of 

 the noblest men that it has ever been my lot to meet, that I have 

 issued this simple compilation. M. K.
