A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president", the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.


For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.


The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."



The president wasn't touched - he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."


"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.”


The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."


For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?"



Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

a
A. He thought they were going to cause problems because they looked dangerous.
b
B. He didn't think they were important enough to talk to because they looked poor.
c

Select the correct text in the passage.
In which sentence does the author imply that the invention of printing with movable type led to greater
intellectual awakening?
excerpt from "The Printing Press"
The early Greeks and Romans used for their books tablets of ivory or metal or more commity, tablets of
wood taken from the beech or fir tree which was then followed by a material called parchment. This was made
from the skins of animals, particularly sheep or lambs. About the end of the ninth century or the beginning of
the tenth, after Christ, parchment and vellum as material for books gave way to paper. Initially paper produced,
was made of cotton, but during the twelfth century it was produced from linen. It is not known who invented
linen paper, but its introduction was the first great catalyst to book making. About the beginning of the
fifteenth century after Christ, there came over the world an enormous wave of intellectual awakening.
The human intellect began to awake, to stretch itself, to go forth and conquer, which hence brought about
the invention of printing. Before this time, ever since man began to record his thoughts, whether on plank,
stone, or papyrus, on bark of tree, skin of animal, or tablet of wax or paper, every letter was made by hand. The
process was necessarily slow, books were rare and costly, and only the few could have them. But with the
advent of a process that would multiply books and make them cheap, learning was made accessible to the
legion. Before the invention of printing with movable, metal types, a kind of block printing was used. The words
or letters were carved on a block of wood; the block was applied to paper, silk, cloth, or vellum, and thus
impressions were made.
