Now, this want of docility, confidence, and respect, when it prevails in the student towards his teacher, cannot, I think, be looked upon otherwise than as a highly-prejudicial feeling, and one which must...

35 ページ - In nations as in men, in intellect as in social condition, true nobility consists in inheriting what is best in the possessions and character of a line of ancestry. Those who can trace the descent of their own ideas, and their own language, through the race of cultivated nations; who can show that those whom they represent, or reverence as their parents, have everywhere been foremost in the fields of thought and intellectual...

Let no one keep dogs, ferrets, hawks, or singing birds, in the college ; nor be immoderately given to hunting or hawking ; and if any one transgress let him be punished. We will and decree that each person conduct himself with propriety in his own chamber ; and do not by immoderate clamour, or loud laughter, or singing, or noise, or dancing, or musical instruments,...
32 ページ - They have shared in a common developement of thought, because they have understood each other. Their standard examples of poetry, eloquence, history, criticism, grammar, etymology, have been a universal bond of sympathy, however diverse might be the opinions which prevailed respecting any of these examples. All the civilised world has been one intellectual nation ; and it is this which has made it so great and prosperous a nation. All the countries of lettered Europe have been one body, because the...

23 ページ - I cannot go on to the next point of my argument without an observation founded on the view which has been presented. It is impossible, after the survey we have just made, not to reflect of what immense importance the question of the two kinds of education is.
