...science of government should occupy a prominent place in the teachings of a university. Professors are not expected to inculcate ideas peculiar to any party, but free discussions of general political subjects are always within their province. Such discussions by college men through the columns of the public press would be of much more benefit to the community than the political dogmas of professional politicians with which our papers are at present filled...

Indiscreetness, painful bad taste and ill-disguised intolerance would seem to have been the chief characteristies of the several articles discussing the question. Of the amenity and sweet reasonableness, such as we should hope to see in such a debate, there was apparently none. In view of this it can hardly be said that further discussion...
