sented, IN President Porters clear and ner-
vous style, it is as evident and convincing as
the boldest "horse sense"
| President Porter goes step further, and
urges the value of the study of Latin and
Greek in the requirement of modern Ian
guagcs. One who is versed in the grammar
and elements of Latin and Greek finds
French and German inconceivably easier
than his companion who has never studied
the former languages; and this is fact
which every student and teacher who has
had auy experience with mixed classes in
school or college is bound to acknowledge.
AS TO Mr.. Adams assertion that "Greek has
no modern uses" and THAT, mot only is 1t q
dead tongue, but it bears no immediate rea
lion to any living speech or literature oil
any value" President Porter makes mos
telling hit when he shows that not only il
the framework of our common Engllsl
tongue composed largely of Greek roots
but that the nomenclature Of nearly
all tho sciences, including chemistry
geology and natural history is formed
from the same language. "Wc NIGH hav
expected" says President Porter, ga smila
illileracy from Huxley or Spencer, but hard
ly from so well informed critic MS the shar
and critical Mr.. Adams"
With quiet humor, the learned writer say
of Mr.. Adams ungra,eful and bitter review
Of his own college life, that Mr.. Adam
seems to forget that there may be at leas
three solutions for The apparent failure OF hi
college life. The failure may have been ap
parent, but no, real he may have derve'
more advantage from his college course thai
