college ( lays boys usually uvent to coilege
because ( lucy were sent , ilot fromn any desire
on ( heir part to get an education , and the
facumhty therofCre lroceeded on time theory
that their tlumty was to hack imp a few Parcels
of knowledge and insert them lute the lOCkOiS
antI under ( lie hats of ( lie boys without their
kimowiedge or consemit , and "that overytlihmg
was machine-like and ( lie .sbmdent was toni-
veIled to believe that time niore Icnowieilgo
lie left behind when leaving his alma mater
( lie more successful he iimus beeit in his cal-

of 1830 , at conlinericetllellt of time wInter
( cmi ( there beiuig thmemi a winter term amid a
suimmiiner ( cmi of college ) , a class of twelve
or fourteen boys enrolled as atutlemits of
Jefferson college , Canoimsburg. Pa. , and coin-
nlencemi ( lie mutimdy of time Latimi grammuar
( Ross' ) . The umudersigned was one of tlimut
miumber. 0mm of this class had already been
for two seasois engaged in tIme study of the
Latiii graumnar , but time faculty said lie was
hot simillcientiy accurate in his knowledge i'
of time fundamental mrlnciples of the gram-
niar to proceed witlm his former class , therefore -
fore lie was placed in our class to again
apply his mind to time rudiments of tiumtt
language. Now this case shows that a
college faculty sixty-tour years ago believed
tlio lundaimiental principles stored in time
brain , instead of a few parcels of knowledge
packed into pockets or hats of ( lie students.
vas their "theory" of a college educatIon.
Now , It was time writer's privilege to be
a regular student at college train 1830 to
September 1836 , excepting aim absence of
three sessions whemi emmgaged in teaciming 'r
school , amId during timome years never knew of a
student who was at college unwIllingly. .
No teacher or profeasor or any science could
have been more genial , polite or ready to
give Imistntictiomis or ailswer any questtoiis
than were tIme professors of timose days.
And why tot ? Thmey stood en the same
platform of Christian integrity that 'now
gives moral worth to , ( lie faculties of Yale ,
Harvard or lniumceton. In thioso days thctj
studied Aloxander' evIdence of Christianity ,
and practiced tiio principles of Wayland's Y
moral science , and therein stood their
equality with those grand nuen of today ,
Who can think for a moment of such men
as 11ev. Matthew Brown , DD. , L.L.D. , so
long time distinguished scholar and abie pres-
blent of Jefferson college , condescending to
such practices as charged to college faculties
a quarter of a century ago. If such were ( lie
educatiomial institutions of years gone by
the inquiry COnIes , from whence then has
come those men of literary renown and ( lint
deep research have glided the intellectual
uirmamnent of our age , and crowded the
different learned professions with so many
men of renown ? I
