...manuscripts, but in 1623 it was sent to Rome by Tilly, who performed many acts of the same nature. Afterwards it went to Paris, but finally was returned to the mother university, minus many valuable manuscripts, but generally intact. A new library, however, had been formed in the mean time, so that now the two together number about 300,000 volumes and some rare manuscripts. Among the few buildings, for the university is situated in the heart of the town and building space is limited, is an Academic Hospital, a Physiological and Zoological Museum, and a large chemical laboratory.

...suggestion, however, of a differentiation of studies as a part of the scheme of general education is open to the objection that the meaning of a college degree will not be as distinct and specific when such a scheme has been put into operation as it has been heretofore. We all know what we mean by an educated man, though we may not be able to put our meaning into a formula.
