iOBHiilj for its comparative weakness.
Seme may say that it suffers fiem its de
nominational character, but it was net de
nominational until its alliance with Mar-
ahall, and it did net nourish when that
marriage took place. It was nothing mere
.thaa an academy when it wen te wife the
.llercersburg institution. It was notbe netbe
''eattfe it was without indersement, for it
had mere means then than it inadeeffec-
Atrre use of. It simply steed still while the
aggressively managed institutions ad
TADced, and in the contest for supremacy
the natural law, which gave growth te the
etreng, left it behind with the weak. It
la net given te all colleges or all men te
Mcceed. There must be some te climb
up highest.
We have, in truth, mere colleges than
we need and fewer academies ; and the col
leges strew the wayside in all conditions of
existence, from the academy up te the
unirersity. Franklin and Marshall is be
yond the academic position, and te be use
ful must push itself up into the highest
order et colleges. What it needs, of course,
is endowment, in these days when colleges
de net pretend te depend upon their earn
ing! for their expenses. Their teaching is
ilulteusand the ceit of a college
education is net in the sum paid
A" te the institution, but in the lit ins of the
student away from his home ami in the
sale expenses of society and seciil origin.
The very great endowment of all prominent
colleges makes it impossible te ;ispire te
their ranks without a like foundation.
Franklin and Marshall is reaching out
for this necessity, with hope of its achieve
ment. Hut when it has it, it will net
have all it needs. It must have trustees
who understand the demands' of the
education of the day and who are eillcient
in aeiecimg me iiisunujciiuj unit win
secure them. Aud If they van Had a lield
In education that is comparatively un
occupied, their success will be great if they
can enter it. And here it seems te us
that one great need of our colleges is a
mere intimate relationship with the
students and a supervision which, while it
does net bind, directs. There are few young
men who knew their capabilities, and one
of the highest functions of the teacher is te
find these out in the pupil and te give him
the direction that ill make his life most
useful. Our great colleges make no at
tempt te de this ; our smaller colleges have
it In their power te ebtaiu a mere Intimate
knowledge of their students' characters aud
capabilities, and it seems te us have a high
aad noble mission assigned te them in
adding quality te the product of true
graduation.

One hutitlriil years age the corncr-steno of
a building for the use of a college, created
by Hie lcglsUture of TcnnsyUanla, was laid
In this city by Bciilxmln Franklin. The
names of tlie trustees te whom were en

Hcntatitoef the highest class of an institu
tion there located took his biccal.iurvate
degree and became the flrt fruits of another
college, also atitherlred by the legislature of
the same comineuweallli.
lleth these college!, were established by
men of German birth, or by these who
boasted ancestry that c.imc te these shore
from Germany. Whatever vitality they
manifested, whatever spirit was shown In
their sub-cquent history, was the ret-utt of
German ctniestuesa and German jiicty.
Their suppeit, In me.st cases, came from
these who had toiled te gain a meagre aul
slstence for Uictnselves, but who were ani
mated with au earnest desire te establish in
stitutiens where their descendants could tit
themselves for any duty in life and centriK
ute te the welfare of the new country In
which their let had been cast. They prajed
aud labored, fought against a mighty array
of adverse circumstances, sacrificed much,
but still Kept prominently before them their
main object te give their children aud their
descendants opertunlt!cs te secure a geed
spiritual and intellectual outfit for the work
of life.
Time jiasseil, and the fi lends of these two
colleges, seeing hew much mere elleetru'ly
they could perform their duties as institu
tions for training yeun-j Americans under
the Inlluence of what were precieu- legtclea
of German thought aud German piety,
wisely determined te merge their separate
and somewhat rival relations into euc college
which should challenge the respect ami sup
pert of the peeple from whom their students
were te bw drawn. The united college bore
the names of the two out of w hich it was
formed, and, from the very day of the union,
started off en a career, which, while it has
net been nmked with the tHMiy success of a
meteor dashing across the sky, his shown
bow faithfully ita officers- have striven te
realie the ideal of a liberal Christian educa
tion. Te-day we meet under the auspices of the
united institution te return our sincere
thinks te llim who has been its buckler and
shield, te scan the extent of the work it has
done and is new doing, and te bring such
help aud inspiration te its faculty and trus
tees as may enable them te take fresh cour
age aud push forward still mere vigorously
In the path they have hewu out for them
selves among the colleges of these United
States.
Of these who were honored with degrees
by the cellege whoe birthday was one hun
dred years age, none are with us in the flesh
te-day ; some have come from that located
at the bae of I'arncll, whose yrtrs amid the
struggles of life have been nearly as r jnicr

aud whose care-wern brews show that they

the traditions of the past, but like young
giants eager ler the worn twleru them, proud
of the reputation gained bj their predecessors
but full of determination te show themselves
worthy of it aud ambitious te secure still

These three classes are all represented here
te-day the sainted dead who struggled in
the early jears of Franklin, accomplishing
but little beyond the preservation of the po
tentiality of the idea of an Angle-German col cel cel
leeo; the v igoreus, hardy sous of Marshall,
who, after earnest preparation for the work
of life under the inspiration of the sainted
genius whose teachings were their pride aud
vcueratieu, plunged into thecentlict, are also
here with grateful hearts and renewed vigor,
.although marked with many scars indicative
of the earnest combats through which they

inid, however, the joy aud exultation of
this meeting, the fact that many are net
with us, who, having finished their tasks,
have passed lrera the tells of earth te the
triumphs of 1'aradlse, spreads a cloud of Bor Ber
row between us and the sun, and for a mo
ment bides the brightness of the present with
a renew al of gloom that se thickly eushreuded
us when they were called away. Familiar
faces, beaming and glowing with the fresh
ness of youth voices whose friendly tones
once sounded mere swietly te our ears than
any ever produced by musical instrument
sympathizing hearts and gentle spirits;
friends of our college days with whom we
loved te mingle in closest communion; may
we net be permitted 'te pause and drop the
tear of affectionate regret as memory brings
you all before us ! And there, in your
midst, the graud figure of that Christian
Gamaliel at whose feet we loved te sit, whose
earnest ami profound spirit stripicd with
ease, from the Miiwrflclal aud sjcieus phil
osophies of the schools, the gauny, mere
tricious ornaments that were calculated te
excite the admiration and bewilder the
spirits of the young, whose noble soul found
its loftiest ambitleu only fully satisfied when
at the feet of the lowly Jesus, whose teach
ings te his pupils were se many Inspirations
that have never been wholly obscured in any
of our souls, but have blessed us whenever
we have suffered them te light our paths and
guide us in the solution of the various prob
lems of life. Mav we net uause and with
the deep reverence we feel for the memory of
uut eui master, as uie eyes grew moist ana
the lips become tremulous, thank theglver
of all that Is geed for the rich legacy of
ethical and theological teachings that was
'tj lie sous of Franklin and Marshall and
the Hefermed church, when Jehn William
son Nkvin, rlisi lu years and full of earth
ly honors, was gathered te his fathers.
Are we uutnie te his teachings when we as
sert as our fend belief that. In th ni, ,,.!-
of witucsses from the Spirit-land around us
te-day, there is none mera lu sympathy with
the occasion than he who struggled se many
years for the welfare of our Institutions,
bore ebliquy and reproach from little souls
who failed te catch even a glimpse of his un
selfish greatness, and at the last, when sue
cess was assured, laid aside the honors he
bad secured, retired from the pest of author
ity whence his utterances would have been
ex-cathedra te his disciples, and spent tlie re
maining years of bis life In retirement? If
any human being should tie remembered
most gratefully en lids occasion, surely It Is
he, who coming Inte our midst, gathered up
all the educational prophecies of the past
with reference te the college, make It possi
ble that they could be realized, and gave an
Inspiration te hi pupils which Isvatne

Till: ORUMVM HKMIS.
It has been Incidentally mentioned that the
founders of the Institution, and it might be
added Its principal siipiHtrters, were men
through whose veins coursed German bleed.
Their ancestors bad but little sympathy with
the superficial lu the material, Intellectual or
spiritual wertd. Their love for the beaut i
fill might net have Iven as pronounced as
that of some ethers, but their devotion te the
useful and the geed was second te none.
In their old home they had built their
churches, their castles, their houses net for
the passing moment, but as though for all
time, aud similarly, all their material con
structions were net made for show, but te
endure, were net made te please the ej e but te
serve lueful purposes, and could always be
relict! upon. Their education had no tolera
tion for the superficial. It must lead the stu
dent deep under the surface where the primal
causes were te be found. Its students were
never satisfied with a mere plausible reason.
They demanded something profound and ab
solutely relevant. In search for this they
threw aside the thought of gain aud the hope
of werhlh aggrandizement. It was truth
they wanted, and in their opinion no labor
was wasted that would make its quest a
complete success, lu spiritual matters the
same idea prevailed , the German religious
life was net the turbulent babbling of a
shallow stream ever rocks, pebbles or ether
obstacles that might fill up its bed and ob
struct Its course, but It was the almost noise
less llew of tlie mighty river, which, having
cut Its way through all obstacles, and made a
channel free of all obstruction, through
which It could bear Its freight en te the
mighty ocean.
With such marked peculiarities en the part
of its feuuders, the college must have grown
up te maturity, abhorring a stuwiflclal curri
culum, aud detesting the shams and make
shifts which are net unusual in the enter
prises of the age. Its curriculum must have
been designed for a full, rounded culture of the
student. net pretending te tit him for any
special profession, or pursuit lu lite, but se
training all his mental powers that, when he
should be deemed worthy of baccalaureate
honors, he might go forth ready te enter
upon a specid preparation for the duties of
his future life. Its faculty set forth this Idea
with all proper emphasis in their annual cir
culars and evidently felt that whatever
might be the future fate of the col
lege, it should be true te the course laid
down for ages as that best lilted for the care
ful training of the young. All this was iu
such strong contrast te the tendency of the
times te permit each student te study such
subjects euly as might be peculiarly apsxslte
te liis future calling, that the conservatism
which it manifested seen made it obnoxious
te the epithet of " fegyish " from the advo
cates of tlie " new " education.

It requires some courage iu the Individual

character of a strong aud useful man, whee

delight te bold him up te their children as a

with it the suspicion that success has been

earnest cenv ictiens.
Similarly, it requires courage for a corpora

ment that has involved ether corporations
organized for the same purpose, and tliises
)ecia!ly when such action would give it the
glamour of popularity and possibly bring it,
for the time being, great prosperity and s

Many of tlie smaller colleges of the land
have acquired such a record iu their struggles
against tlie popular tide in education, which
seems te have iulluenccd seme of our larger
colleges te recognize but little as worthy of a
place in the curriculum of studies, that can
net be made of tiecuniary profit te the stu
dent. True, such a course was based utam
au utter disregard of the idea that certain
studies are sclatly advantageous for the de
velopment of all the faculties of the mind,
and that their employment as a whole pre
vents the abnormal development of some at
theexpeuse of ethers, and which has had
the sanction of centuries. Hut the age was
se prelific-lu wondrous scientific discoveries
aud still mere wondrous application of the
same that a restlvcucss under the slew and
sure methods of training speedily made it
self manifest. Thu question was bluntly ad
dressed te our educators what use can we
make in our daily mercantile and mechanical
hues of busiuess, of Latin aud Greek roots,
of the dry detail of logic and metaphysics,
or slew methods of fitting youths for active
participation in the business of life'.' Our
meters are net tlie same as these used by our
ancestors. The horse was supplanted by
steam when rapid transmission bocame a ne
cessity, aud we are new euly impatiently
awaiting the discovery of methods by which
electricity may be used as the meter of the
world. Why shall we be content with the
tallew-caudle as a source of light, when gas
er,betterstill,the IMisen Incandescent burner,
can Iki employed te illuminate our path by
night with Its bright, dazzling, far-penetrating
light ? The age is eue of steam and
electricity. Our teachers must present
nothing te our children that will make
them pause and cast a longing leek at the
past 1 That Is only useful which treats of
the present or prophesies of the future I We
must break with the past 1 We want none
of the se-called culture of the dead lan
guages. Teach us the living with which we can
buy and sell and get great gain. Teach us
only tlie things that are practical 1 The age
is net for dreamers, but for active, busy
w Ide-awake men of practical bent I
Questions such as these and arguments
of a similar character began te be largely
employed, possibly net se tree from the drap
ery or rhetorical attractions as I have stated
them, but showing, however expressed and
richly draped, that a spirit of utilitarianism,
demanding a definite statement of the
meuled value of their studies, was invading
our colleges and striving te overturn the
wise conclusions, which centuries of exe
rience had reached as te the best course of
studies for fitting a young man for life.
Many shrank froet this raothed of viewing
the subject, but still felt that changes must
be made lu order te satisfy what was fast
tielng developed from a "tendency" te a
movement, " and that it was their business
te court the popular favor, because that was
tantamount te prosperity. But hew could
they show some, If only the slightest, ap.

Some of the large colleges appeared anx
ious se te encourage this tendency as te
make the whole curriculum subject te the
luditidiial choice, te threw aside all that had
been approved as K-st lilted te give a round
equable mental development which should
ovetiuatetu fitness for fair, intelligent, spe
cial work, whether professional or technical,
whenever the time should come for taking It
up. 1'lectUes became the prominent feature
of the college curriculum, and a fixed course
of studies a singularly rare feature. The
smaller Institutions, carried away by tlie ex
ample of the larger, or lutliieiicel ny the
hope of securing an Increase of students for
themselves through marching in the front
rank of this movement, lecame mere radical
in their practices thau their exemplars and
mere inimical te the system of education
which tries te train, te furnish mental disci
pline, and te fi for life in all parts se that
the Individual may find uscnil results of lu
finitely greater value than can be estimated hi
money. Tite fashion was established. The
hobby or fetish which our colleges delight d
te worship was mined " the Useful, " mean
ing by the name that which liisavalneth.it
can be expressed in dollars and cents. Fer
this they shouted " I'i'mi," w hlle they mutter
ed with angry emphasis "Urciit ' at the men
tion of any study thatsavered of pure Intellec
tual training or gradual development for the
ambitious youth. Of course there was a sem
blance of propriety in this plan of submit
ting clcctives te the student, se tint he
might direct his attention towards the pur
suit which was te lie his own in the future,
but tlie egregious error with these who were
honestly connected with the movement was
the Ignoring the fact that the choice was per
mitted before sufficient knowledge had been
acquired by theyeutli te make it intelligent
ly , that the cool deliberation of a fhll-grewn
man, bodily, mentally and spiritually, had
lx.cn granted In cases where there existed
great necessity for tarrying much longer at
au academic Jericho until the grew tli of the
intellectual licanl would give evidence of a
full adult manhood. Dcctives were ettered
te the Frcshm in long before he could possi
bly se command the whole of the iiitellectu ll
field as te knew w here his mental energies
would tiud their most congenial home. 'Ptie
power of choice was granted before he had
attained his Intellectual majority. The laws
of the laud denied him the right of elective
franchise before he had reached the age of
twenty -one, and yet, although unable te ex
ercise this iu a country where young children
are conversant with the politics and the re
cords of ieliticiaus, the youth of sixteen or
seventeen, was siip'tesed te be able te deter
mine much mere important question Ter
himself ludvidually and te exercise the right
of au election of the highest luminal
value.
i xv AMI I.I1IKIITV.
The result of this movement was net con
fined te the mere matter of choice of studies.
It was still mere comprehensive. Its legiti
mate tendency was the removal of all limita
tions iijaiu youth, and the obliteration of all
cellege regulations and att3iupts at discip
line, lu tlie movement te put the youthful
individual whim beyond the control of the
cxericiiced and the uniform conclusions of
thu past, the principle of no restrictions,
save these which the laws of the liud 1mihje
for their infraction, asserted itself. College
d'sclpline hail been based either upon a cede
of laws consisting largely of "thou shall
net' with )cnaltlcft annexed, which at
times became wearisome aud olinexious te
the youth who was te 1hj trained iu the col
lege te the accurate icrforuiatice of his tasks
from a high sense of duty or upon au
enumeration of tasks and a statement of
regulations which were laid down with ap
peal te a gentlemanly sense of honor for
their observance, aud whoe persistent vio
lation could only lie punished by a removal
of the diseased member from the otherwise
healthy body. The latter was the favorite
method with the best educators. Tlie student
while at the school required detailed regula
tions involving prohibitions and prouable
petty sMialties, but there was te lie some
what larger liberty se as te fit him for the
future when he was te be a law te himself.
He was net te understand his cellege liberty
as Implying no recognition of law, but rather
that which could only be fully enjoyed in
and under Its protection. There were fewer
penalties, but these were mere grievous in
their nature. Hours for recitations and
ether purposes were te le preserved, because
system and order and discipline had cot yet
computed their work, and this work was
that at which the whole curriculum was
aiming.
The new system, however, removed all
restrictions. The individual will should net
be restrained. Attendance upon recitations
must be absolutely voluntary. All the
miner details, supposed te be necessary te
every well-ordered household, were te be
discarded. The majority of the individual,
Intellectual aud moral was te be anticipated.
Professors were te Iks freed from any special
care for the habits and morals of their
pupils, while their duties were te lie confined
solely te Imparting intellectual instruction,
at certain definite hours, te these who chose
te attend at the time secified.
One step further was taken. The question
arose quite naturally. If no fixed course!
required of tlie youth, why shall he be com
pelled te attend dally prayers and Sunday
services ? Is it net better that attendance en
these should be left te his own volition te
his own spiritual longings? And se, instead
of the cellege being of service, as in former
days, te strengthen the Intellect, the will, the
spiritual fibre, by the gradual withdrawal of
the preps that the child demanded, which were
lovingly furnished at home aud judiciously pro pre
vided: at school it Is made tlie arena where
all these are thrown aldc, aud the youth Is
called upon te bear the burdens aud undergo
the temptations of manhood with little if any
assistance whatever. That the risk te be
uudergone Is great, no one will deny ; that It
is unnecessary at the age and under the cir
cumstances, I have no hesitation te declare.
TKNDE.NCIES OK " POI'ULAIl " EOUCATION.
Let me sum up what the tendencies of the
popular college educatieu of the day involve.
First the ignoring of the study of the so se
called dead languages Latiu aud Greek,
which Instead of being dead are manifesting
perennial life throughout the literature of all
countries, because Uiey are the custodians of
the thought and beauty that belonged te the
human mind when it was uutrauimeled by
traditions and revelled iu close contact with
the truths of nature. Second, the lowering
of liberal culture while a money estimate is
placed upon the studies of a college course,
according te which these only are of value
te the Individual student that seem te have
some direct connection with his future call
lug. Third, the removal of all disciplinary
agencies, which are intended in au educa
tional way te strengthen the moral and spir
itual nature of the young and te lead theui
along se that they may gradually learn te
think and act as well-trained, strong, self
reliant men, fitted in all respects te assume
the geucral duties et life or te enter upon
special preparation for any subsequent pro
fessional or technical pursuit. These re
sults antagonize the weik which was for
merly assigned te the cellege. The sphere
of the college was well defined as the discip
line and cultivation of all the powers of the
individual, se that bodily aud it must be
admitted that there Is strong reason for the
Introduction of athletics into our colleges
mentally and spiritually be may be trained
for the warfare of Ufa.
A. recent utterance from the University of
Berlin shows bow the seientleU of its faculty
itwegnlscd this order of training a that let
adapted te lit students even for special solen selen
title work. Fer a quarter of a cenlury the
grad.iaUvs of the Gymnasia somewhat oerre
"pending te our oellege-and these of the
Heal Scbule have liecti admitted en a like
piano te the University. Hut afu..r this long
experience, tlie declaration has been made,
Ihatlhe students from the Gymnasia, who
have Ihimi closely and carefully trained In the
old classical curriculum, hare Ih-cii found
Kilter equipped, even for scientific studies,
than these wlrbse preparation was made In
the Ileal Sehiile, where the practical or tech.
ulcal Idea prevailed. And this declaration
was signed by llnllman, one of the greatest
chemists of the day.
New, the requirements of the age may do de
maud of some, who are impatient te enter
upon practical pursuits, that their education
should Iki se sselally conducted as te give
Dusliies. knowledge and business nines, ami
of ethers that they should pursue teelmtc
studies in order that they may lie able le
plunge into the duties of life. We have no
controversy with this ftct, Some techno,
logical study may possibly be beneficial al
every stage of education j If for no ether
purem, certainly for the completion of men
tal discipline, but the experience of the past
accords ierfectly with the conclusion of the
llerliu savaus, that the liest preparation for
that which requires a thoroughly cultivated
and well-disciplined mind Is the old college
course of stiidles,purited under the direction
of honest, earnest. Industrious, able profes
sors, whose lives are devoted te their duties;
and that he who has conscientiously com
pleted it Is thereby ordinarily much better
prepared te take up the pursuit et seciai
studies there ifler than one who has net had
the advantages it furnishes.

With these views acquired when a boy in
the early diys of Marshall college, strength
ened by contact with the world and thu ex
perience It bring te every one who strives te
pcrrerm tils duty, 1 turn witli pleasure te the
general register of Franklin and Marshall,
and find these utterances from its faculty :
"Franklin and Marshall has remained
firm iu its adherence te what It conceives te
Ik) the true cud and aim of a college. While
It freely concedes the legitimate calling of in
stitutieus that lay themselves out sccially
for a business education, and the pursuit of
techuie studies, It docs net bolleve that such
purKvses can Ikj advantageously joined with
a vigorous and successful attempt te master a
lull classical course." 1 read also, that a
divine service Is held en Sunday, that a Hib
llc.il and catechetical course of Instruction Is
given en Sunday morning, and that a dally
morning service is held iu the chapel, and- -"
That these previsions are such as parents
usually wish their sous ti enjoy at home,
aud they are de-lgned te threw around them
the strongest agencies for geed lu the midst
of the dangers and jsTils by which they are
surrounded during the most Interestin; (sjr (sjr
ied of their lives."
llravely said, il.iUr C'.iri ' you have
remained firm aud true te the ideal set be
fore you iu the d.ys of your youth, have
striven te realize it all llue years, and are
still true te your convictions and earnest lu
your endeavors te bring up your sons lu ac
cordance with the traditions of tlie past and
the exHitleuce of Its most faithful educators.
Aud while doing this, you have shown your
self net unmindful of the fact, that the age
is ene of wondrous developments in science
aud art. Your observatory, yimr efforts
after mera elaborate means of illustrating
the scientific progress of the present all
show hew faithfulness te the past can be
connected with a hearty recognition of pro
gress. Conservatism is nut necessarily an
tagonistic te progress, but can se beautifully
blend with ll as te demonstrate the con
tinuity of all human ellert aud all mental
life. With truth it can be said of Alma

Anether error whicli the cellege ha
aveidisl, is tlie tendency te masquerade as a
university, while striving te e.rry out tha
idea of a cellege. Thespjiens and methods
of the two institutions are widely dillureiit.
The one is intended fur general training te
intellectual work the ether te fit the student
for the sce!alty which his mature mind has
selected. The one ha little or nothing te de
with clcctives , tlie ether must furnish these
iu abundance, se that the student can ac
quire the special knew ledge that wilt lie of
value in his life-work. The ene has te de
with a fixed course aud with restrictions that
gradually dimluWIi a the college life draws
te a close the ether recognizes tlie individual
as having passed beyond the restraints
needed by youth, and new ready te forge out
the weapons which will lie needed in the
special arm of the service In which he lias
enlisted for thu coining battle. Iu tlie uni
versity he is te be a law te himself as re
gards his bodily, intellectual and spiritual
conduct. Here his (sjrsenal licut aud incli
nation are of the first imiiortance. They
must shall) bis studies, dctermitie the courses
of lectures most necessary, and cause him te
avail himself of everything that wilt give his
adult 'lowers aud well-trained mind such
mastery ever tiie truths whicli specialists have
gathered in the past, that he cm take his
place among them and, by original work,
make additional contributions te their stores.
Having learned the advantage of discipline
iu the ranks, he has become fitted te take a
place with these who are te exercise au
thority aud demand recognition for their
special knowledge.
The university ensures the grand elliores ellieres elliores
cence of the plant whicli has sprouted forth
from the seed sewn iiichildhoed in the school,
uudergone nurture lu youth in the college,
and has been placed under conditions, In a
suitable environment, that w ill give It free
course te show forth its peculiar character
istics. Sucli au institution muat have a liberal
foundation, since its teachers should all be
preficients rceeguized ex)rts or masters ;
its illustrations should be of the best and
therefore of the costliest character; its
libraries should be large and comprehending
the written conclusions of the w isest men
who have labored In the domain of human
kuowlcdge ; and its means for fresh and
original investigation should lie such a te
invite the ambitious te work in untredden
fields with great probability of success.
Without a liberal foundation it will fall te
real le the ideal involved in its simplest
form, aud prove a delusion te these who have
been enrolled among its members. Heuio
universities cannot be numerous. Far better
that they should be few, thoroughly
cqiiiiK.sl, woll-mauned, largely supplied
with members eager for the advantages they
may eiler, and become necessarily great cen
tres for original work aud valuable contribu
tions te science and literature. Colleges
may be numerous, iu tlie nature of the case
must be; but universities involve se much
outlay of money, se large an assemblage of
great talent, that te carry out their true con
ception they must be limited In number.
When the cellege tries te imitate their
methods it fails te furnish the young student
the training he needs, aud immerses the
adult iu superficiality instead of the thor
oughness he has the right te expect. It
travesties the genuine, it degrades Its own
special fuuetiens, and it becomes a blndrance
Instead of au aid te thu spread of knowl
edge. Thoroughness is au object te be strivcu
after by every educator. What Is worth
learning at all is wertli learning well. Shal
low pretence, superficial display, and a smat
tering of knowlcdge belong te the humbugs
of the day. LI'eistoe real, tee earnest te
be occupied with such, substitutes for genu
Ine proficleney. Tlie age needs less veneer
ever Ignorance, less of the whited sepulchre
full of nothing that possesses vitality in It
self or can ceufer vitality upon ethers, less of
the pitiful pretender, less adiilteratleu or the
geed aud the w le, aud mere of the solid and
enduring, mere of earnest labor, mere of
that true spirit of maulliicss which delves for

Counterfeit it may exhume in tlie course of
its quest.

The college that is inspired with such a
spirit, will be the source of Incalculable
value te its patrons, and an inestimable bene

Ol'K NVTIONAL LIFK,
A a nation we are new enjoying the bles
sings of peace. We must, however, net el'.
lertain the thought that the )siblllty of
future struggle for right, or even for national
existence has been obliterated. It may b
that our national strength as well as the ten
dency of tlie age will ensure the reference of
all future difficulties with foreign nations te
just arbitration, tliat the stuK'iideus frater
nal ceullict through which we have passed
will forever hereafter cause us te avoid such
an unnatural method of settling Internal dif
ficulties, that a mere civilized aud Christian
ized statesmanship will force us te se leek
upon the Indian question as te find It net
only better, hut even mere economical te edu
cate our Kisi brothers than te sheet them
down at sight. Hut there are signs of dan
ger from another quarter, which may call for
the best means of elleuce and defence known
te the t liristlan statesman aud scholar.
Heretofore we have exhibited a wonderful
faculty for fusing the most incongruous and
even antagonistic elements into one homoge
neous ix'oiile. Tills ha Ih-cii se successfully
accomplished that we have invited the nations
of thu earth te send their surplus population
tens, with but little If any care as te the
moral character of our Immigrants. And
se, licside the hardy and honest foreigner
who brings with him his family and scanty
mean, there Is new lauded iisiu our shores a
class of liwless, unprincipled, gislless scoun
drels, full of the iKilitical doctrines that pre
eipitated tlie French Revolution, and prac
ticing a defiance of religion aud morality
which would be dolnictive te the well-being
of any twople. As In ether days, when the
Natien's cry was heard for help, our colleges
felt It a high privilege te show their patriot
ism by sending forth their sous te rally
around the national ensign and te ensure Its
triumph, se new, iu the coming contest with
anarchy and socialism it will bethvir duty
again te enter the ranks aud show by their
valor au I courage hew they have trained
their students te de geed service agilust the
