Editorial,
For a professor to heali-cut hiincli from
the University for twooi ihioti iiummIib,
may be to his peisonal ii.teiest, but it ecj.
tainly is not to the interest of the students.
Such a professor's classes aie divided up
among other members of the Faculty.
Thu recitations tire heard at odd hour,
thus preventing manny of the class fiom
being piesenl. It certainly retards the
work of the University.
Among students and professors in gen
eral loo distant or formal a lehitioiishln
exists. They come in contact with each
other only in the class room and hence
the student sees only one side of the pro
fessor, aud often not the most favorable
side.
3Ioic, not unfrequonlly, is to be learned
from an instructor in his private room
than in the class room. Theie h a mis-
taken idea concerning the dignity with
which a professor is expected to invest
himself, a sort of "dynamic investiture,"
through which a teacher's character ap.
pears to the studeut, very much the same
us the voice of a mm would sound, who
wan headed up in a barrel.
Mark Hopkins, one of the most cele.
brated teachers of the United States, wab
most intimate with all the ouug men 1.11.
der him. In fact, sometimes to their great
consternation, he would appear among
them at the most unseasonable hours of
the night. It was to this intimate relation
that he owed his great power over young
men.
To criticise is to compare one's uvn
standard with that of another. That
which pleases one, is not admired b
others. Critics of societies often, very se
verely condemn the debaters for not tech
ically discusingu question. Tliey hold
the wordiug to be ull, llie principles in
volved nothing. There is a broader view
to take of the subject. If a question can
be so stated us to cover the gr und, there
is no need of taking up other matter-.
But what does the language of question
express? Nothing more or lc.-s than
some principle. Principles ate discussed
not words. He who strives to substanti
ate his own side by technicalities, by
twisting the words of tin icsolution to
mean what it was never intended for them
to mean, forsakes the broad Held of legiti
mate discussion and enters upon the petty
squabblings of third-rate lawyers Tha
there is too much scattering in our de
butes, we admit. It is well, however, in
discussing a question to go to the bottom
and notskim along on the surface. It
is heller to be picpaied fiom every stand
point, than one. Uroad and liberal view
me to be preferred lo narrow and c..
uncled ones.
Students who have finished a lng
con isc of study, often wonder that they do
uot accomplish as much tu men, who
have had fewer advantages The result
is due in a great measure, to the lack of
assimilation or arrangement of ideas on
the part of the studeut. In other wonls
he does not think. It is easy to clog the
mind with a collection of disarraged facts,
in this case amounting to mbbih.
The common man pundeis wcil a
few tacts and thus becomes acquainted
villi a subject in all its bearings. A stu
dent pursuing a course, is forced from the
very natuie of his occupation, to give too
much of his lime to books and too little to
cflection.
Tub thing is a power which iie mutt
cultivate sooner or later. The earlier he
attempts to measure ideas by applying to
them his own individual standard, the
more nearly completed is his preliminary
education. To think logically and pei.
sistently is much moic difllcult than is
commonly thought. Let any one doubt
ing this statement, tiy for half an hour to
think closely on a subject without once
loosing the connecting thread. I: is only
by an elfort that one learns lo think, and
hence the two-fold benefit.
Preparation is the first requisite neces
sary foi success. He who carefully pre
pate himself for a certain work, if be be
energetic and upright, need have no fears
of his ultimate success. We say that
such an one is a good student, that he
always hasjhis less jus. Hut we seldom
think of Die many and tedious hours he
