From the fact that more Freshmen are conditioned in Mathematics than in any other study, we infer that Mathematics are made disproportionately difficult.

But aside from being a vague and ambiguous term, Politico, the acutest of his contemporaries, saw that calling this Faculty Reason involved a contradiction of ter???, since Reason could scarcely ever be said to have any influence over its action. Hence he appropriately dubbed it the Regulative Faculty...
