It may be well enough to show that we have more students than any other college, that we have the ablest professors, the finest museums, and the largest library; but if we do not employ these advantages, our boast is vain. We have all heard time and time again of the slight mental strength gained, by passively taking our facts and ideas through the handy medium of a lecture.
