Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plea for Liberal ture
As it seems to me, through the influence of the elec tive system we have been gradually drifting into a dangerous position, which recent action has only more clearly defined, in changing the basis of our first de gree in arts from a period of residence to a number of courses of study. All this tends to give to our cofie'gé course the tone of an educational mill, rather than of a studious retreat. It tends to substitute for the in fluence of lofty associations and refined intercourse the feverish acquisition of a definite amount of know ledge in the shortest time. It tends to replace the contemplative life of the scholar by the restlessmivalry of the market; and is, in my v'ew, a yielding of the great purposes for which univéisities were founded to the commercial spirit of the age.
