Sinopsis

Excerpt from University Organization

The increasing interest taken in the question of University or ganization, and the desire for information with regard to foreign schools and Universities, are shown, we think, by the recent pub lication of Prof. Hart's work on the German Universities the republication of that portion of Mr. Matthew Arnold's Report on Schools and Universities on the Continent' (london, 1868) which relates to the Higher Schools and Universities in Ger many and the publication of the third edition of Mr. Bristed's well-known work, Five Years in an English University'. For Americans, this is a healthy sign and we do not think that we misinterpret it, in regarding it as expressive of dissatisfaction with the present state of higher education in this country, and of a desire to set to work intelligently to improve it.

Excerpt from University Organization

The function of the leading English Universities, then, seems to be to hold examinations and confer degrees, leaving the teach ing to be done by the private tutors attached to the several Col leges. This system is dependent upon the immense endowments of the particular Colleges, and the numerous Fellowships con nected with them, which yield the fortunate holders incomes of from one to two thousand dollars per annum.1 Such prizes un questionably induce hard study, and are the rewards of most rigid examinations; but a system of instruction based on such stimuli is only possible where wealth has already furnished the necessary stimuli.
