v 4 Senior Day 'Our tears of narrowness in college are largely illusory. Experience in the colleges of France, Ger- many, ltaly, anrl lfnglancl shows that the big clilterence between them ancl the American institutions lies not in the intellectual equipment of the stuclents but in the very subject ot my tallc, the rlelinition of llrearlth ot Mincl. ln Europe the professor neecl not play the part of a monthly magazine for the stuclentg much oeneral introcluction to suhjects not his own the stuclent piclts up in the cliscussions of the collegiate societies' the rest he gets lay reacting, not only while a stuclent, hut cluring the clecacle afterwards.
