This state of things is to be regretted. In America every citizen is to a certain extent a governor; at all events, he plays or can play a more important part in the government here than in any other country. Every man as he comes of age is summoned to appear upon the scene, and it is of the highest importance that he should be prepared to do so. Comparatively few can enjoy the advantages of a university education, but fewer still fail to realize what those advantages are. Most of those who have never had, or who have neglected...
...this influence be more usefully exerted than in politics. Firm and decisive moves of the educated classes are almost invariably successful, while indifference or carelessness on their part is sure to lead to carelessness or something far worse in their subordinates, if I may employ the term. Every "man" - to use the word in its college sense - ought to realize this fact in his thoughtful moments, if he has any, as every man does.

...summary of the Law, treated as a unit, in connection with some such book as Kent's Commentaries, offering to the student in a palatable way that which a jurist has acquired by his years of experience and labor, this course to be delivered by some man of experience and acknowledged ability as a lecturer and jurist, would, in connection with some such plan as has been roughly sketched above, be more useful, practical, and appropriate, under the circumstances and conditions under which the school and profession are placed, than the course now adopted. We trust that the learning...
