232 - L. Aug. 9; ed: 2/1 - Mary young men and women have been graduated
from various colleges during these past weeks, and with a large portion of
them, the diploma is only an "evidence that a certain amount of time has
been spent within the bounds of some particular educational institution."
They have failed to achieve the fundamentals set forth in the college
curriculum which makes for an education of which one is to be proud.
Another phase of college life is prevalent, however, in the colleges
of the west, which are more favorable to the general distribution of a
moderately good education than are New England colleges, though a vast
improvement could be made, because both eastern and western colleges turn
out "graduates who could scarcely be admitted into the freshman year of
the best colleges in the country."
Scholarships in western colleges are denominational, and students
cramped by theological opinions are apt to become intolerant bigots.
- "If the majority of colleges could be merely tributaries for universi-
ties of such magnificent facilities as are possessed by some of the German
universities, there would be a stouter, heartier race of thinkers and
scholars than prevails under the present system." (18)

place on Nov. 1, and an address was made by Secretary Chase. Colonel
Harris of this city was elected chairman. Mr. Chase referred to the var-
