This is, we believe, contrary to the opinion that prevails among men of average education, not college graduates; but it appears to us to contain a vast truth, and it is probable that public sentiment is being gradually modified in this direction. It has been a common thing for men of means to refuse to send their sons to college on the ground that they were going into business, where, according to their view, a college education would be worse than useless.

Of course, the great value of the senate, as of the conference, is in the expression in an authoritative way of the sentiment of the college. The senate, however, has the power in many cases to render this sentiment the college...
