...great thing to see the world, make the grand tour, etc.; but visiting picture-galleries and palaces, and dreaming under the combined influence of a cigar and the Lake of Como, are very poor preparations for mathematics and logic, relieved only by the milder diversions of a Cambridge winter; and the average student is apt to return with a much clearer conception of the works of Offenbach than of those of Michael Angelo, and of Monaco than of the Matterhorn...
