u the Qrahuating lass uf Tltinihersitp allege BY Pkmeiinxi. Hu'rToN T is the tendency of human institutions and controversies to move in cycles, though sometimes T there is also a spiral and ascending movement concurrent with the circular revolution. The University of Toronto is illustrating this tendency and the wheel has almost revolved full circle since 1880 or thereabouts. Up to those years the University received only a small portion of the youth of the Province, the hand-picked few who were aiming at the liberal pro- fessions, who proposed to be lawyers or doctors or clergymen or fa few of themj schoolmasters. Then came the fiood tide of democracy sweeping so far and high that in the mid-western States of the Union it is sometimes urged by University Presidents engaged in the research for endowment that every girl and boy born into the State has an essential, a congenital and a prescriptive right to a university education therein. , Our own local Premier a year ago appeared to have this mid-western point of view, and argued against the higher standard of matriculation, which was then contemplated, and by which the number entering in the first year were likely to be diminished. But further thought seems to have taken him back to a point on the revolving circle much nearer the new point of 1880 or, say, of Professor Goldwin Smith. The Premier suggests that the students of the two first years should be retained in the schools and thus attendance at the University proportionately reduced. lt appears to me that the resulting compromise is, like many compromises, unpromising. If a large number of students not specially qualified for universities-and nature abhors intellectuals no less than a vacuum for her ordinary purposes, and has nothing to gain by an unlimited supply of academic minds to the Province and no employment to offer such minds- were to stay two years longer at school, and then pass into business life, many of them would gain thereby and the Province would gain. But it is a very different thing to give them two years after their school-days at a university. A university has its own atmosphereg an honour course is of no good with less than four yearsg even a general course isof little good, the atmosphere to be effective must penetrate slowly and gradu- ally, a man does not learn to think for himself, which is the only justification for his presence in a university, in a few weeksg let him not come at all or come and stay for the full four year periodg he has to learn to stand on his head, in every sense, and to see all things new and from new angles, it can not be done in a short course. I venture to think still that the remedy for slipshod and inaccurate reading, for lack of thinking, for absence of scholarship and for half- built and half-baked products is a long course and not a short course in universitiesg preceded by a more serious and searching matriculation. If many who come here unprepared, stay instead for two years longer at school and then go into life, the Province will probably derive more benefit from them and the university less severe criticism.
