Harvard College and the political career question

President Eliot argues Harvard offers broad education as best prep for politics, but direct preparation cannot be found in college walls. He notes politics pays poorly, many graduates must earn a living, and only wealthy or fortunate men can afford public service while many Harvard students support themselves. England’s system is cited as contrast, with costly campaigns and lifelong parliamentary aims. Harvard thus prepares for many professions, yet not a direct political path, urging reform to broaden access to public service.
