...cover a number of different subjects, together with a somewhat thorough study of one among them. What that one should be will vary with the personal aptitude of the student. In my own opinion, it is better, as a general rule, that it should not be too closely akin to the subject which will engross attention in the chief occupation of life; because any direct professional knowledge that can be obtained in college is trifling compared with what can be acquired in a far shorter period in a professional school, and the attempt to obtain it crowds out some other...

...with more variety of style but less skill and general finish seeks help elsewhere. Amid random shots at present evils that dishearten the poor undergraduate, such as bad lecturing, bad prescribed reading, and that abomination the "section-man" (!), he has at least one real suggestion-something not very distantly akin to the Oxford tutorial system.

And with the thought of him comes a vision of Dean Prior, remote in lovely South Devon, its ancient church, the vied tower, the churchyard, and the vicarage garden...
