But any tone can be changed by the cumulative energy of individuals working in the same direction for a series of years; and if, every year, twenty men with position, resolution and tact, would make it their business to resent offenses against the tone of the college in character and conduct, we should end by imbuing the very atmosphere with an honor, manliness, pride and delicacy, to which all things could be entrusted, and which would be the most precious thing a young fellow coming here would gain,- worth far more...

...without progressing a single step, and is plucked at his matriculation for Latin prose, we flatter ourselves, forsooth, that we have been giving him the best means for learning Latin quotations, for improving taste (or what passes for such) for acquiring the niceties of Greek and Latin scholarship ! We resent the nickname of the 'Chinese of Europe,' yet our education offers the closest possible analogue to that which reigus in the Celestial Empire, and for centuries we have continued, and are continuing, a system to which (so far as I know) no other civilized nation attaches any importance, yet which...
