...lectured for their conduct, in the newspapers. When they carried out practically what they had been reading in their daily journals [Rochester has no daily, so that must be aimed directly at Harvard], they doubtless had the expectation that it would be taken as a very sensible and entirely proper method of expressing their critical opinion of the aesthetic side of art." Identifying Mr. Wilde and the "aesthetic side of art" is good. This whole discussion is, we fear, becoming somewhat tiresome; but then we must ask the American in what single instance college boys were incited by their daily...
...university system, at this time. In this week's Nation, the question is again considered, Beloit and Oberlin both taking their say on the matter. The Beliot correspondent appears to have a reasonable appreciation of the true status of the subject, and advances several plausible theories as to the proper relations of the terms college and university. "The name university," he says, "ought to represent an institution where not rudiments but sciences are taught by specialists, and where the learners are responsible young men who have chosen one or more of these sciences for a life work." But the college...
...cling to the popular judgment of the man and his work as being essentially the true one thus far. And notwithstanding that we deprecate, as much as any, all unmannerly gibes and epithets as tending to our own harm the most, still we claim that Mr. Wilde is a proper subject for reasonable satire and even ridicule, in all that in him is plainly exaggerated and absurd, - which is by no means little. For it is only in this way that the public is permitted to defend itself against the cant of his sentiment and the sophistry of his pretence...
...sleigh. Numb fingers, slippery going, and frequent and unavoidable falls and dismounts do not seem to us the most enjoyable features of bicycling. Winter, in our opinion, is the time to give the bicycle a rest and to be contented with the old-fashioned sleigh. Bicycling in the proper seasons is a most healthful exercise and a very fascinating manner of progression, but in the winter it is entirely out of place, and seems like having picnics in January. If winter riding be practicable, the Columbia Bicycle Co. should immediately establish an agency in Greenland, and introduce their machine among...
...about the same as that of graduation fifty years ago, and indeed of graduation now from some of the smaller colleges. This brings an entirely new factor into the question which did not exist then, but which now entirely changes its character. Then, of 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...
