Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 149 Our universities being predominantly colleges, and the great majority of their students being under-graduates or college students, I propose to direct my suggestions to the question of controlling college students, with reference to whom primarily and almost exclusively it has been publicly raised. The proposition that the university student should choose his own studies and govern himself was originally applied to a body of young men the majority of whom were not properly university students. It may be admitted that professional students are to some degree in different circumstances from college students. They are older and more mature; mostly men in years and experience. They have gone through an invaluable previous training, have a wider horizon of knowledge, and are held and urged by the near prospects of their life-work and the impending necessity of a livelihood. They should require much less of external guidance and control. Yet they are not left to themselves. Professional schools of all kinds firmly hold their students to certain prescribed courses of lectures, reading, examinations, and attendance, which are accepted by all parties as wise and necessary, and on which no further remark is here called for. Students enter college mostly in the transition period from boyhood to manhood. Perhaps the average age in this country is not far from eighteen years. Some, indeed, are men, but very many are still boys. As a body they are at an age when, during nearly three-quarters of their college course, they are, by the wise laws of the land, under parental government. This patent fact alone would seem to furnish a valid basis for the answer to the question. I have heard it affirmed by a high college official that the notion of a college faculty standing in loco parentis is an exploded notion. If so, the more the pity. But there certainly are colleges, not a few, where it is not exploded or obsolete. By what right shall the parent, when he sends his son into new difficulties and temptations, consent to the withdrawal of all that guardian watch and care which the public polity and the wisdom of ages require of him while the son is at home? And by what right shall the institution to which the young man in his minority is entrusted by the parent assume that not only direct parental guardianship, but all substitute for it, is abrogated by the trust? I have heard it asserted, in a similar strain, that the whole duty of a college professor is discharged and ended in the lecture-room.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 135 The death of the greatest of American men of letters - a man who was at once an elemental thinker and an elemental power - immediately drew forth such a series of tributes to his genius and character, from such a wide variety of thoughtful minds, that it is difficult at this date to say anything of him which has not been said before. But perhaps, in surveying him as a poet, some additional reasons may be given in proof that he was original in the sense in which the word is applied to the recognized masters of song. In estimating the relative worth and rank of a poet, we are hound to consider not merely his possession of "the vision and the faculty divine," but the penetration and extent of his vision and the originality of his faculty. Did his spiritual insight go deeper than that of other poets of his age and generation? Did he advance beyond the recognized frontier of the ideal world in his time, and add a new province to it? Were his verses imitations or revelations? Did his poetic faculty work on old materials, adding only an individual flavor to new combinations of the old, or did he create or spiritually discern new materials for poetic treatment? In the case of Emerson, these questions can be answered only by a survey of what had been done by the great poets of the century, when (to use General Sheridan's significant phrase) he "took the affair in hand."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 147 Evidences of both are only too apparent. Dignity is always an argument in itself, it lends a beautiful force, like that of delicate machinery, to those perfected arguments which it weaves. The man who keeps his temper; who avoids invective as a distinguished American gentleman for forty years avoided audible sneezing; who has no more taste for superficiality and sophistry than a ship-wrecked sailor for a polka; who curbs passion into persuasions, and the license of rhetoric into the liberty of logic such a man carries the presumption of favor for his case in so far as he is such a man; and he ought to. The treasure of the Christian faith is not of a kind to be borne away from us by intellectual burglary. In the next place I am reminded of the comment made on the Concord School of Philosophy by one of the keen newspaper men who have made American wit a modern discovery. The Concord students spent their time, he said, in trying to scrutineer the inscrutable and poss the impossible. The controversy in which Colonel Ingersoll has been the defendant is, I venture to say, not upon his part alone, an attempt to poss the impossible. Tactically considered, the discussion has to a marked extent followed that simple military expedient known as "firing wild." It strikes me that the chief reason for this is one for which no individual party to the encounter can be held responsible; least of all, the distinguished statesman whose scholarship, dignity, and repose have given value to the conflict if they have not won the day. Is not the main trouble with the discussion the absence of definition? Really, when we come to look at it, there is no such thing postulated between the opponents. The simplest conditions of controversy are disregarded from the start. There are no common terms. It is easy to ask, How can there be any? What can there be? Between a mind which finds it natural to call Heaven a poorhouse and Jehovah an eternal turnkey, and the mind of a devout believer in the divine mission of Jesus Christ, where is the common term? True, it may be a matter of the subtlest difficulty to find one; it may even seem to be past finding out; but for controversial purposes it is no less necessary for that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 161: July, 1895 We must be a little wary when Brander Matthews tells us that Cooper's books reveal an extraordinary fulness of invention. As a rule, I am quite willing to accept Brander Matthews's literarv judgments and applaud his lucid and graceful phrasing of them but that particular statement needs to be taken with a few tons of salt. Bless your heart, Cooper hadn't any more invention than a horse; and I don't mean a high class horse, either; I mean a clothes-horse. It would be very difficult to find a really clever situation in Cooper's books and still more difficult to find one of any kind which he has failed to render absurd by his handling of it. Look at the episodes of the caves i and at the cele brated scuffle between Maqua and those others on the table-land a few days later and at Hurry Harry's queer water-transit from the castle to the ark and at Deerslayer's half hour with his first corpse and at the quarrel between Hurry Harry and Deerslayer later and at - but choose for yourself you can't go amiss.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 162: January, 1896 Addressing himself to his task under these circumstances, his argument is partly negative, and partly affirmative. The first goes to show the futility or insufficiency of the presumptions against survival which are drawn from the character of death. The second and more limited part goes to show substantive likeli hoods, drawn from nature or experience, that the soul may sur vive death. In the first he is eminently successful. In the second we become sensible how scanty is the supply of material at his command. Much of the depreciation lavished on the chapter has arisen from'the careless supposition that he is advancing as substantive arguments what in reality he only propounds as re buttals of adverse presumptions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 8 Sir William Jones, in a letter to Lord Althorpe, written after one of those excursions to France, in which his inquisitive mind, grasping every species of intellectual attainment, combined the severer studies of political science and law with the luxury of oriental literature, states that he had, among his various pursuits, attended some causes at the Palais, and brought home with him the works of a most learned lawyer, whose name and merit he should have the honour of making known to his countrymen. This writer was Pothier, whom he afterwards noticed and imitated in his beautiful essay on the Law of Bailments, and of whose treatises on the different species of contracts he speaks in the following enthusiastic manner: 'I seize with pleasure an opportunity of recommending those treatises to the English lawyer, exhorting him to read them again and again; for if his great master, Littleton, has given him, as it must be presumed, a taste for luminous method, apposite examples, and a clear manly style, in which nothing is redundant, nothing deficient, he will surely be delighted with works in which all those advantages are combined, and the greatest portion of which is law at Westminster as well as at Orleans.
