...these courses cannot but hold this opinion. By such lectures men would be enabled to find out for themselves what there is in such studies and would undoubtedly be much more inclined to take them. This is true in a different way of the Natural History courses. Some men think that they merely contribute to one's stock of facts, and not the widening of ideas which should be the true object of a university education.

...into this thoroughly wrong paradise was a mystery which he made no attempt to explain. "A nice place this, eh?" he said to me; "nice gardens; remind me of Magdalen a good deal.

Probably the annals of debate among intelligent...

And on the whole we are inclined to think that any thoughtlessness which leads a man into the practice of whittling everything in his neighborhood is open to considerable objection; and so we would recommend that this practice be given up here and allowed to join its companions in the land of tradition...
