Concerning the poorer students or Russia the Saturday Review says. Their mendacity is passive rather than active. Unlike the mendieant friars. they never ask, but they know much will be given them. They know. too strange fact in q strange eountry-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position. Thus tha university becomes the poor Russians golden opportunity. for here, as else. where, there are many posts, for which graduates alone are eligible. A stroll through the streets of Moscow during term time furnishes abundant evidence of the popularity of the university. The uncompromising military blue and green uniform which stamps the stu dent, and which he can never, save under dire penalties, exchange for plain clothes is to be met with at every turn.
