President McCosh saws in regard to Princeton:
aTo counteract the prevailing materiasm of the
day there arc three of us teaching the various
brancbesof nb;losophv. In the Younger classes We
nybd;vide the work of instruction SO that every
student Is called In recie to professor almost every
day. In the older classes we allow the student to
make limited selection of studies to suit his tastes
and destination in life and the professor gives in
struction in the branch which he has specially
studied and seeks to stimulate original reading and
research. We are laboring to keep down
tho expenditure of the students. and nave nliue
arrangements whereby dcseryng an. slu ssan
