...certainly does not compare favorably. It is illiberal and expensive. The English university is not national property in the true sense. Being under the control of the church of England it is necessarily sectarian in its character, and does not by any means heed public sentiment at all times.

I believe all of these errors in our college management arise from a servile aping of foreign colleges and universities, in which imitation we go (as all imitations are apt to do) far beyond our patterns, and utterly forget that...
