Another Reply To Mr.. Dabney In Defense Of
tho Old Standard.

Editor Of The Times:
1t must have been with painful surprise
that your readers saw the iconoclsstic charge
brought against the University OF Virginia by
Mr.. Dabney in his recent letters.
For many years not alone it's alumni, but
Southerners as a rule have been proud OF the
University and OF the thorough work 10 was
dong In the education of the south; Bhnueu
by conservative prejudice and dazzled Dy the
briihancy of it, reputation We bSNe
failed To examine its courses closely
or % recognize the irreparaDle IN
Jury that their rigid requirements We're
causing So great has been the INJURY
wrought upon the mental ana physicai ue-
velOpment OF our young men tnet MI Dhp-
ney strongly. but rightly, styles the l nj
yersity tile bane of Southern education"
We have drawn attention TO these state
meuts of Mr. Dabney. not 20 emphasize
them for that would be difficult but TO
show that these views throw clear light
upon two hitherto dark questions. The
steriltv OF the South in men Of
been in other fields, has drawn forth
host OF conflicting and contradictory e1pia-
nations. Here at last we have the matter IN
a nutshell. Recognized as the foremost COL
lege of the South, the University has drawn
20 itself the most promising young men of
their growth. II has sent them back stunted,
withered and inert Like Iarquin among the
peoples in the old Roman tale. the University,
with speclOus. entcing MEN, has been stalk
ing among the intelligent tower-beds striking
TO the earth with rigid academic cane
all the vigorous and thriving heads
that have unwarily shown themselves above
their fellows. The inevitable consequence is
easily seon One big head alone. as Mr. Dab
ney has told us was fortunately spared; other
wise We might still be IN ignorance Of this
worm j. the bud" Of genius.
Again the puuy and debilitated physique Of
so many Of our young men. attributed often
to the loss Of the brsvest and best of the land
in the late war may find truer explanation
In Mr. Dabneys far-reaching discovery. still
other matters are cleared up by Mr.. Dabney's
dogmatic logic but we shall not take up
more space in following out what every reader
can trace for himself
All, however. IS not so clear as the fore
going. The University was planned IN Us
detail by the wisest and most far-seeing OF
statesmen. to whose foresight each year bears
witness. Can we believe that Mr. Jefferson
did not foresee the injury that his University
would inAictY IL would 10 most difficult 20
convince any one Of such blindness IN Mr.
Jefferson.
If ne did foresee this damage. what was his
design ia planning il so carefully Could he.
with inhexible democratic logic, have deter
mined to- allow in bis republic no ar stocracy
even of talent and education. and have de-
signed the University as the surest means OF
preventing it? We leave this reconcile in
yestgation TO Mr.. Dabney's trained historl-
cal judgment with the hope that no will fol-
low out the interesting clue that he has lndl-
Gated 10 us.
