S. Charles William Eliot strongly advocated the implimentation of electiveness in the universities. During the period when was the president of Harvard University(1869-1909),Eliot, with perseverance, was able to establish the system of electiveness and the curriculum of elective courses which played an important role in turning Harvard University from a community university into a national key university.
