...certainly calculated to aggravate the most serious defect of our collegiate system. Nothing does so much to prevent a "collegiate education" as it is called, in our day and generation, leaving marked and lasting effects on the character and tastes of young men who graduate, as the low esteem in which they hold the professor-that is, the small importance they attach to their opinions about everything relating to the conduct of life-everything, in short, outside the special subject which the professor teaches.
