The Study Of Greek.

President schurman, OF Cornell
University, has expressed the opin-
len that before long Greek will have
to be omitted from the modern col
lege curriculum. II this innovation
takes place it will be a sad blow to
most conservative scholars. for the
language of Hor,er and Seschvlus,
of SophocIes and aristotle, WIS one
of the cornerstones of culture N the
days OF our grandfathers. When one
considers the real beauty and value
Of the Greek language. it does seem
rather pity 70 leave it out of the
college boys education.
It is knotty problem at best,
and probably cannot be solved in one
generation. There Is one certain
thing. however; it is better Tor a
boy not to learn Greek at all than
to learn It in a perfuncto-y way,
simply because it is a part Of the
course and he mus. He might much
better spend his time on equally
hard study OF something which viii
be OF practical use to him. There
is g great deal of pseudo-classicisul
In this country which We can do
without. We need culture which q
young man seeks from the love OF It,
not because it will help him 20 make
a better appearance in society or
earn more money.
The Old World scholar learns
Greek seriously. He is competent.
at the end OF his training, to discuss
the elias sizes with men who are IA
miIiar with Homer as an oldtime
Puritan was with his Bible. His
! knowledge Of Greek fits him IS enter
the sort OF cultivated society in
which the names of the gods and
heroes are commonly spoken 1t can
not be claimed for our American
college training that it does any
thing of the kind. It is an excep-
tionaI graduate who can discuss
anything in Greek literature Off
I hand, OF who feels any paTtic -lar
! interest in travelling among the ruins
/ of Athens. Let US be honest. Let
the young man who is interested in
Greek. and likes it. and expects TO
use it. study it thoroughly: and let
] other young men study something
| else with equal thoroughness.

KING VICTOR EMNANUEL'S JOURNEY
