college graduate will take with him to his home and into the
concerns of life something that will be to him an armour and a
weapon always at hand — an economic code that shall be as a
handbook to the publicist, politician, and statesman—that
shall make of the college men in Congress and Legislature not
dreary followers of a groping public sentiment, or the confident
advocates of exploded economic opinion, but instructors and
leaders of their time.
