Many are devoting their time to the study of political economy and history with the expressed determination of fitting themselves for a political career in the future. Others are paying less regard to these studies, yet still give to them such attention as they consider necessary for the proper performance, later in life, of the functions of citizenship.

By 1848 most of the German professors had given place to Greeks...
...think that was the original intention of the faculty, for some reason or other they were compelled to change their plan. The text of the new warning differs from that of the old, in that it contains a hint as to the time when the recipient began his downward career, and intimates very plainly that further neglect will get an admonition or something worse. In typography and press work, the new issue is fully up to the standard...
