Harold Laski The 5tαte in Theory and Practice.
晨四点一刻咳嗽，不能复寐，盖受寒己数日矣。五点起。六点即有校工来取行李。六点廿分别允敏、希文、松出发，徒步走四十分钟至遵松路口。在南京饭店吃面，遇邱窒与姚梅生。七点半酒精厂车开，一路甚平顺，十点到文庙。遇直侯，谈片刻，知因金宏发为保管窃取白糖三斤事，章瑞华与杨炳彰大肆攻击。与邦华谈半小时，知农化系彭谦又要辞职，为苏步青在其前院打一墙事。王福山来，为与夏振锋、吴载德闹意见，致影响及于新毕业生章作藩。中膳时孙宗彭来，欲用杜宗光为副教授。余不以为然。胡哲敷来，亦为杜说项欲来大学。杜善交际，但其学历殊差。
午后睡一小时。周本湘、华昭复、谢文治等来。周欲作生物系助教。谢约余在夏令营讲演。刚复去遵转渝谋出洋。四点，余至河边走。回。六点晚膳。俞宗理来，知邱壁光已将渠不续聘。晚农经研究生郎敦娃、王永吉、李光治、周继颐四人来，知沈文辅以未得聘书，故不将此四研究生成绩作结束。又步青来。来湄一日所见形形色色，无一事足使余赏心乐意也。
Laski p. 65: Hegel以为工商界利欲熏心， they may have intelligence , but they are sunk in narrow and self时1 particularity。农人忠心，但无知识， may have loyalty to the whole but through lack of intelligence it is blind and silent trust , it makes him a healthy element in state , but it shows unfitness for exercise of those qualities which govemment demands. It is only the nobility which can rise above the selfish interest of their class to the plane where private duty becomes with public. The whole , it is argued , is greater than its parts , the interest of the nation state must therefore be regarded as greater than the interest of anyone or anybody of its numbers (p. 67) .
