...writer, however, seems to forget that the larger colleges, like Harvard and Yale, have much better facilities for furnishing the much-talked-of "practical" education, than do his "small and weak colleges." They, like our high and grammar schools, are of the greatest importance in promoting education, but to maintain that there is no need of universities like our own, where "the purpose is to impart a high scholarly finish to the accomplishments of a privileged class," seems to be going a little...
