...college life to pass without an increase of manly physical vigor. He should graduate, proud of his physique as well as of his mental attainments. His future success depends upon both these factors, and only narrowness of mind or of training is shown in the neglect of either.

By allowing advanced students to be examined in either literature, mathematics, or mental or moral science, they were singularly fortunate in avoiding two extremes, making their university neither an agglomeration of technical schools, nor a place for learning dead languages. A university should be a centre from which culture and enlightenment should radiate in all directions. He was, therefore...
