College students, college graduates and college authorities know this to be true. If such instructors do not exist at Harvard, the exception may be well regarded as very remarkable and quite solitary. President Eliot then considers the second possibility; namely, that the subjects themselves may be "inherently easy. " He opens his argument with a fallacy so marked as to deserve separate attention. 10 Here it is : " If the principle on which the objection under consider- ation is founded be true..., the easiest courses will be largely attended, or, conversely the much-chosen courses will include all the easiest, " (p. 41). The "principle" alluded to is that "students who are free to choose their studies, will, as a rule, select the easiest, " (p. 39) which is, as we noticed above, an exaggerated statement of the " principle on which the objection is founded. " But let that pass. If, however, it be granted that students will, as a rule, choose the easiest courses, this is good to prove that " the easiest courses will be largely attended.
