about founding a college in which students could not choose the form, content, or sequence of their studies. Students would uniformly be required to complete a prescribed curriculum and do four years of rigorous mathematics, laboratory science, languages, and philosophy. Faculty would be expected to teach all parts of the curriculum, from laboratory science to music and Greek. And there would be no distinction of rank among faculty: all would be called tutors. Paychecks would be determined primarily by the tutor's age. Teaching experience, degrees, publications, research would count for little.
