...study belongs to the latter than the former. The college in its aim is "general rather that special, being to develop, as lies in its power, the youth into a man, not into a teacher, lawyer, or other professional or business specialist." The university, on the other hand, is for special study, and is peculiarly an elective institution. Study at a university is usually subsequent to study at colleges. It must be conceded, moreover, that the purpose of the university is not disciplinary. "It must be assumed," the writer of the article says, "that in the college the student...
...second steamer," "intended to wait on the second step," and "happened to be the next substitute;" Wer staubt hier im Zimmer ab? "Who stops here in the summer?"; sie hatte sich verrathen, "she was married;" er streckte die Linke nach den Briefen aus, "he placed his left hand against her cheek," and "he stuck the stamp on the letter;" sie zog sofort eines der Bucher hervor, "she drew on softly one of the boots;" sie musste die Wahrheit sagen, "she had to name the marriage day;" rechts-chaffene Manner, "well shaved men;" es war eine Frauenstimme, die, wie es schien...

What, on the other hand, are the disadvantages of an unsectarian college? It is asserted that it loses influence through want of support by any sect. It appears to be indifferent to religion. There is a fallacy in these assertions. One may enthusiastically believe doctrine, and yet be opposed to forcing it upon another. Religious liberty...
...examination room, feeling, perhaps, well satisfied with his work. Soon, however, he meets A. and B., with whom he eagerly goes over the questions. He finds a dozen or so of his mistakes. After this he is hopeless. He throws himself upon his acquaintances, begging them to take a hand in the carving, and in a short time he has the examination nearly dissected, his only recompense being the loss of his peace of mind and that of his much consulted friends...
