so far as it is concerned. An indiscriminste be-
stowal of prize on all who ask for il so that a de-
sire is sufficient guarantee that it may be attained,
does away with all wish on the part of the really
meritorious to secure what would otherwise be val
liable It is not SO in Great Britain. There the NJ
A. is proof that the man entitled TO attach IT 10
his name is scholar of no ordinary merit Men
of national reputation do not despse TO ax IL and
it is esteemed an honor by all on whom it is be-
slowed.
Very different, however is it in our own land
The graduate of any college and of some schools
upon receiving diploma, and before he has had an
opportunity to display any of his abilities is dub
bed an A. B. II his life is spared for either three
or Ave years. and he desires to Vest FIVE dollars he
can become an a. III. This cheap honor is so little
valued that there are few who have been an A. r
for five years who appreciate the superior degree
sufficiently TO invest the necessary greenhack-
There can, under such arrangement be no pride
in bearing the title 1t is the reward of long life
of having for five years survived graduation, and
the sheepskin is little better than proof that he
has attained certain age. We would have this
matter reformed. We would have degree confer
red only when it will honor the recipient and make
him reflect credit on the degree
The third degree, however, is one which has not
vet degenerated into an empty honor When COL
lege cOnfers the rank of LID on any one it an
swers the legitimate object Of the creation of the
rank 1t does him an honor and gives him a lust
cause for pride. There are in America bat few who
entitled to these letters and this fact is duo we
think, not so much to the discretion of the colleges
to the fact that but few of them are entitled to
confer the degree. We believe that there are bat
five constituted in the United States which are au-
thorized to bestow it. The result is that an amb-
tion similar to that which exists in France to be-
come member of the Academy is found among our
men of ability. II, To some extent, this same am
bition could be diused as to apply to the minor
degrees, much good would be accomplished, and the
system redeemed from the just ridcule to which it
is now subjected. The holding of a Bachelor or
Master of Arts degree gives really no better cause
for pride than "Dr. Pangloss" had when he an
nounced his titles of "LLO" and "a. S. 81
