In short, he is free to be what his own talents and energy may make him. The result is known. It has made a knowledge of the German language indispensable to men of letters. It will be many years before Harvard can have a system like the German, with its gymnasia, that send forth men fully trained for a higher education, and its professors, who mould...

...etymology of the modern synonyme for these braxe has been the subject of much investigation. The Greek pialphanu and the French talons, which would make pantalons, or all-heels, were once thought to have formed it; but the languages were too foreign to each other to justify the supposition of such a compound...
