WHAT CoLLEGIANS HAVE LEARNED.

WHAT COLLEGIANS HAVE LEARNED.
Thackeray warned the wise father against
coveting the highest hOnOrs for his son at
school Let the boy, he would say, have a
respectable place in the middle of the form
and get good thrashing now and then, in
stead of being the cock of the walk. The col
Iecians who are taking their degrees this
month have undergone the brisk discipline
of competition and been outstripped by their
fellows in one way or another. Even the val
edctorians and prize-lnen know their limita-
tons. While they have kept their places or
won their honors by dogged persistence in
study, sometimes through sheer drudgery, they
know that third of the way down the list
there are minds surprising theirs In original
force that still lower down there are men of
practical intelligence who can Out-debate
them on any topic of current discussion, and
that nearly at the bottom of the roll
there are dapper little fellows whose
self-possession and social graces they have
often envied when standing themselves
tongue-tied and awkward-limbed in a
drawing-room. The graduating seniors have
learned this, if nothing else, that they cannot
be first in everything, that they are, indeed,
fortunate If they have an dnrivalled talent for
ANYTHING and that in the main their ability
does not rise above the level of medIOcrity.
The budding freshman who left the prepara-
tory school or academy oyerpraised by his
teachers, petted and idolized at home, inflated
with self-importance, requiring only place to
stand In order TO move the world with his
genius, is less pretentious as full-blown
senior He has been brought into contact with
men of his own age who have greater natural
ability than himself in some directions, if not
in all The effect of this experience has been
wholesome. The competitive tests of college
life have enabled him TO form more accurate
estimate of his own powers
This is accompanied by corresponding sense
of the limitations of his own knowledge. His
university training has tended not so much to
put conceit into him, as to take it out If he
was impressed at the start with the promise
and the potency of his youthful talents, he is
now Inundated bv the superficial character of
his acauirements. His Illusions have been dis
peled. His horizon has been enlarged. He
knows how much he has to learn and how
many years Of exhausting labor and what ex-
ceptional facilities for thorough study will be
required before he can be entitled to consider
himself thoroughly educated man. He is
more apt to depreciate tie training which he
has had as crude, unscentiiic and shallow,

of derision from the presumptuous young per-
sons at Col umbia.

It ia pretty hard on the inhabitants OF pleas
ant towns on the Hudson River to have their
Sunday quiet broken up by such disturbances
as occurred yesterday at Hastings; but large
share of the responsibility rests on the residents
of such places themselves. The police authorities
of this city are not of the opinion that they
can prevent liquor selling on excursion barges
and boats hired by disOrderly persons for their
Sunday excursions from New-York. Ihe
problem is plainly difficult; but some solution
of it should be diligently sought. Meanwhile
the people who live at these Rpleasure resorts
have it within their power to prevent goou
deal of the trouble. Liquor was sold freely In
Hastings yesterday, and the disorder which oc-
curred was natural enough, considering that
the police force of the place was not large
The first thing to do, therefore, at hastings
(other towns similarly afflicted should also
take notice) is to shut up the grog-shOps on
Sunday. If this will not do, let landing be
refused to all except the regular excursion
boats.
Although politics are as quiet now in In
diana as they are in most of the Common
wealths of the Union, yet the prospects OF
Republican success when next the party enters
upon a canvass are fattering even at this
early day. A correspondent of THE TRIBUNE
In letter from that State points out some OF
the leading features of this pleasing situation.
The Democratic Legislature at its last session
did all it could to insure the defeat OF the
Democratic party next year. True to their
traditions. the victorious Democrats no sooner
met last winter than they began to overturn
the public institutions all over the State in the
interests of patronage. Indeed, they seemed
to be trying to surpass their brethren who were
legislating at Albany at the same time.
Although they did not equal the New ork
Democrats, they were not far behind
when the two Legislatures adjourned. One OF
the most scandalous things the Indiana pat
ronage seekers accomplished was the overthrow
of DR.. Rogers Superintendent of the Insane
Asylum, because he refused to sacrifice his
integrity for the benefit of his party. The
Republican majority acted with honesty and
frmness; naturally, therefore, as Democratic
rule grew in disfavor its opponents gained
in public esteem. There is good reason TO
suppose that the Democrats will repeat their
performances at the next session. If they do,
their condemnation at the polls will be doubly

New-York tribune., 1883-06-18

Mr.. Robert P. Porter in his letter from Eng
land this morning describes gentleman for
whom, undoubtedly, Free-Traders will feel a
deep interest. He is Leicester hosiery man
ufacturer who only wants " half chance "to
beat Americans out of their home markets.
In his opinion this Nation is exceedingly selfish
to refuse to share Its wealth with the English
manufacturers. American workingmen engaged
in the stocking-making industry, however,
will not be moved by these complaints, espe-
cially after glancing at Mr.. Porter's table
making comparison between their wages and
those paid to persons performing the similar
labor in England. In Massachusetts,, for exam
pie, the hosiery operatives get 100 per cent
more pay than those in Leicester. The "half
a chance" therefore, for which the Leicester
manufacturer pines, he will hardly be able to
get-so long, at least, as American wOrkmen
have anything to say about it.
New-York tribune., 1883-06-18

Harvard men who are accustomed to place
financial value on their opinions when
speaking of the chances of their Univer-
sity crew in the annual race with Yale
viii feel some hesitation in taking a bold
stand this year. Several good men were early
lost to the crew at Cambridge, but the disa-
bility OF Curtis, the stroke, was the most Sc
we're blow of all. Matters have mended within
two months but the condition of the crew
even now is not reported to be such as to
rouse great hopes that the brilliant victory
gained over Yale last summer will be repeated
this year. The possibility of defeat discloses
an interesting situation According to present
announcements Harvard Is to row Columbia
before meeting the New-Haven crew. If
Columbia and Yale should 10th defeat the
Cambridge men, Yale's position would be
painful in the extreme. Columbia would un-
doubtedly send her challenge and then the
New Haven students would either have to
overcome their well-known aversion to take
the risk Of being beaten by any college except
Harvard, or refuse the challenge amid shouts

On another page of this impression will be
found sketch of Phillips Exeter Academy,
the centennial anniversary of which will be
celebrated this week on Thursday. The cele-
bration viii attract and interest college men
from all over the country, for the Academy
has long been one of the most popular of our
preparatory schools. The ranks of nearly all
the New-Engand colleges, but Harvard es-
pecially, are recruited largely every year from
the crowd of boys taught at Exeter. Thus it
happens that the Academy has as .larm a
place in the hearts of many men as the colleges
which gave them their degrees. The secret OF
the success of the school at Exeter is not hard
to find. 1t is the thorougbness OF preparation
gwen to the boys sent there. The in
structors never fall behind the requirements
of the colleges they feed. One of the results
Of its success has been seen recently in the
proposed establishment of an academy OF
similar character in New-Jersey.
