Those who have ever grappled with German philosophy and who know the complex and altogether tremendous nature of its vocabulary, can imagine how much meaning such discourses would convey to one still mourning over the mazes of Otto and Ollendorf...
...president of Harvard says that "every youth of eighteen is an infinitetely complex and solitary organization." Next "correct education has for its aim the correct development of each student's gifts." I do not grant the first statement, and the second is not true.

In the English colleges of a few centuries ago, it was an ordinary circumstance to carry on a conversation in Latin, and the control which an average student had over the language was astonishing. When, for example, we remember...
