'THE U1iNSltelUAJ$
Cistern school, which has all the advan
tage of wealth, age and tradition to give
a western institution much credit. As
Mr. Bates shows, the attitude of eastern
institutions of learning towards those of
the west is mnch the same as that of
'England towards America overbearing,
or unbendingly tolerant. It is indeed
gratifying to know that although strug
gling with "both poverty and inexperience,
onr dear old university is coming tip to
the standard of the best schools in Amer
ica. We have no traditions, no history,
bnt we have an institution built xvpon the
solid rock of native brain and determi
nation with faculty and students as de
voted to the cause of higher education as
those in anv of our older listers.
