While the English universities give but little for the endowment of the positions of approved scientific teachers, and do not logically apply even that tittle for this object, they have another arrangement which is apparently of great promise for scientific study, but which has hitherto not effected much; that is the institution of fellowships. Those who have passed the best examinations are elected as fellows of their college, where they have a home, and along with this, a respectable income, so that they can devote the whole of their leisure to scientific pursuits. Both Oxford and Cambridge have each more...

He combats the idea that a university needs quiet and removal from the excitements and activities of a throng by saying "that as this is a practical age, and as the object of education is to fit young men for the duties and responsibilities of practical life, the greatest advantages exist in a large town. "The very atmosphere inspires with the restlessness and activity and practical force which reach their highest development in such a city as New York. On every side...
