...expectation is that those pursuing this course will make large attainments in a few studies rather than a limited amount in many studies. Much, not many things, is the principle. The 'university system,' it may be observed, is a natural outgrowth of the general principle of drawing the line between the secondary and superior education at the end of the second or sophomore year. There is made no distinction of classes, but each student is credited in the catalogue with the number of courses he has completed. About thirty thus far have chosen the 'university system...
...that he (or she) should be able to write good English.' Professor Hill has that first quality of a good teacher, the power of holding a startled attention. His keen-edged sentences oblige one not only to listen but to believe; for his vigorous style is clearly the natural outgrowth of a sound and vigorous judgment.

It has become known chiefly by its work in natural science but desires to encourage humanistic studies equally. We anticipate a great future for it. None of the English or Scotch universities...
...course, it was proper that a strict discipline and oversight of the students should be maintained by the college; now it is not to be asked for or desired. Furthermore, as to the elective system, "the choice of studies, as well as the abandonment of discipline, is the natural outgrowth of the raised standard of our better colleges, and it should go hand in hand with the upward extension of the college course." But, as this writer says, the great difficulty is to get parents and the heedless public to recognize the great difference between American universities like Harvard, Princeton...
