...cases it can be safely said that students spend at least two years of their college course in learning the most proper and convenient system of note-taking. Very few men have the necessary ingenuity or patience to work out for themselves in a few weeks a satisfactory method of taking down the most important points of any course, for example, in science or history.

It should be the office of professors and teachers to dispel this erroneous or rather imperfect conception of the means and methods by which an education is to be obtained ; but on the contrary they too often encourage it, because it makes their recitations appear to advantage and saves trouble. It is a lamentable fact, however, that the men in college who are called the best scholars have frequently remarkably poorly furnished minds...
