...American philosophy desired and the power of our agricultural products to feed the nations of Europe, saying that soon those countries will come to us for a philosophy as they now do for our produce. This is a "consummation devoutly to be wished," but which we can never expect, for the mercantile spirit that is so powerful in America to-day is not the one on which a philosophy that is destined to permeate all the peoples of the earth can be built.

Have the instructors in this course lost faith in their original plan, or has "ye student critic" got himself into disfavor? It is to be hoped that both have happened, and that the latter especially is the case, for nothing can be more pitiable than some of the expression of jealousy and puerility handed...
