than the gift of tongues i'll an infant; Dut there
NAV be a PROMISE i'm itself akin to originality; |;
and especially there may be cOmmendaDle
"method of treatment" for which also prizes
were awarded. "Style," likewise, point con-
sidered by tho judges, when we take into
account the .labor and long practice which it
requires, and how hardly many good thinkers
obtain o fairly good one, must also be consid-
crately regarded. "Deivery" is an easier
matter For generation after generation of
students, delivery was almost entirely neg
lectcd in the colleges, being usually given
up to tho tender mercies OF the Pro-
fessor of Rhetoric, who often knew nothing
about it, and, worse than all. did not know that
he knew nothing. To be very careful of
delivery was thought in classicaiy educated
man to be fincal and frivolous; and thus it
happened that at the bar, and in the pulpit
and the chambers Of legislation, speakers
hcmmed and hawed, and by every conceivable
deficiency of elocutiOn did what they could to
prevent the people from finding out how wise
they were and how admirable was their dis
course.
We think well of all methods by which the
students of this country may become acquainted
with each other, and good feeling between
the different colleges may be maintained. We
have sometimes thought that we perceive indi-
cations of a rivalry which could only foster
jealousy and envy and other unscholarly and
unmanly qualities of character. We do not
think the worse of man, whether he be A. Il,
or A. NJ. or an Undergraduate, for regarding
his college with pride or for being CAREFUL OF its
reputation in all things; but of all its merits,
it is most rational to be proud Of those which
appertain to sound learning and all other forms
of intellectual cultivation. There is no harm
in rowing matches nor in the battles OF
base ball indeed, there may be much good;
but the best of Oarsmen may be grossly
ignorant, and the best pitcher very vul-
gar fellow. There are achievements which
positively and peculiarly belong to the
college. They are literary or scientific-the
triumphs of mind, and not of muscle We are
glad to see these scholarly contests modifying
those of an athletic character; and we are sure
that the learned faculties of the colleges will
agree with us.
