It's true that what I propose is not an optimal solution for the very brightest students. For such people, if they wish to develop there really is no choice: they need to move to the centers of world learning, and seek out the brightest people they can, to challenge and teach them. But for people who are merely bright and interested, and perhaps not able to afford Harvard's fees (or otherwise gain acceptance), what I propose might have some considerable value.
