country will be rid Of the curse.

nocroRs OF LAws.-The Nation is severe
on the existing system Of comforting col
legiate degrees, and cites some very inter
estipg ''modern instances" OF malpractice
in that relation. It says:
Two years ago General Granti on his
way to Canada, happened to take COM
,nencement dinner in a town down East,
and came away IL. D. General Meade, on
his return from wedding, visited Cam
bridge, and bore away the same diploma.
Gen. Howard left the Freedmen's Bureau to
visit his home, and the nearest college
christenea him Doctor Of Laws. Gen.
Terry, on the other hand, came outa simple
Master Of Arts ct New Haven, on the prin-
ciple that prophet is not without honor
save in his own country. A few years
before a professor Of Greek found himself
proclaimed, at Cambridge, % Doctor Of
divinity, when he had not even been or
dained as a Minister. Bismarck is announ
ced as having just been made a Doctor o
1 Philosophy in one Of the German UNIVERSE
ties. George Peabody is Doctor Of Civi
Law at Oxford. The newly arrived Minis
tel from Greece has turned up LL. d. a
! New Haven. How many of the corpora
ton could tell his name? So it goes, yea
utter year. Take the lists Of any respecta
able college, and see whom they hay
honored and whom they have not. On
hours scrutiny would be sufficient to sho'
| that the whole system, as at present mar
tanned, is full Of fraud towards the public
/ upElirness towards men OF letters, an
, dishonor to the name Of learning and III
t thought of academic honor.
