...theory that thus limits, a priori, the scope of Modern Languages is strongly opposed by the writer we are quoting. He claims, that if the same scientific methods that are now used in teaching the classics, were employed with Modern Languages, the mental discipline afforded by the latter study would be as good as that of the former, or better.

For by means of evening lectures on different subjects students who devote themselves to specialties are enabled to widen their scope of learning and to go forth with a liberal education more truly than they would if these additional advantages were not at hand...
