...inferred from its title, "Turning-Points in Life" deals with those questions which are, at the same time, the hardest to answer and the most important in the lives of all men. It is, therefore, of especial interest to those who begin to see these enigmas looming up before them, near enough to present in full light all their knotty points, but far enough off to afford time for deliberation.

And for this it is not the government of our colleges which is mainly responsible. Could the thousand young men now studying at Cambridge be placed in business or other occupation, apart from old friends and old restrictions, which it would be ridiculous for a parietal committee to adopt, no better results could reasonably be expected. The fault lies elsewhere; it is in the fact that few who come here have...
