Стр. 53 - When I think of the host of pleasant, moneyed, wellbred young gentlemen, who do a little learning and much boating by Cam and Isis, the vision is a pleasant one; and, as a patriot, I rejoice that the youth of the upper and richer classes of the nation receive a wholesome and a manly training, however small may be the modicum of knowledge they gather, in the intervals of this, their serious business. I admit, to the full, the social and political value of that training. But...
Стр. 44 - Those of us who are here today need go back only one, two, or at most three generations, to find a time when the household was practically the center in which . were carried on, or about which were clustered, all the typical forms of industrial occupation.
Стр. 45 - No number of object-lessons, got up as object lessons for the sake of giving information, can afford even the shadow of a substitute for acquaintance with the plants and animals of the farm and garden acquired through actual living among them and caring for them.
Стр. 80 - ... regular college classes, the studies in which they desire full accomplishment. This course I feel assured will commend itself to the friends of education, for while it complies fully with the organic law of the University, in extending equal privileges to male and female students, it is yet a conservative course, midway between the theories of those who would ride a hobby to personal popularity, and that of fogyism which yields nothing to the demands of a growing public opinion.

Стр. 56 - Of those he passed 790 on the river; and during nine of the remainder he was laid up by a sprain caused by his exertions. The remaining day, which he wasted in lionising his mother and sisters, he will regret as long as he lives. Years afterwards he will date events by the University races of that time. The Crimean War, he will say, broke out in the year of 'the eighteen-inch race...
Стр. 23 - To merely increase professors' salaries so that they can pay higher rentals is obviously unfortunate. It is a proper charge on the resources of any university to divert such funds or income as is necessary to make for good faculty homes. It is wise to have such a grouping of the faculty that they and their children are not brought in social competition with those of a less wholesome but more florid type of living. It is well to have communities where brains and not money set the pace and win the...
Стр. 95 - The Educated Woman and Professionalization: The Struggle for a New Feminine Identity, 1890-1920
Стр. 27 - sabbatical year" has been decidedly useful to the University, having, indeed, but one drawback, — namely, that a teacher with a family and no resources but his salary can hardly avail himself of it. When this policy was first adopted by the Corporation, it was thought that leave of absence should be given for a complete year only ; because it was believed that competent substitutes could be more readily procured for a whole year than for half a year. Of late years, the practice of procuring substitutes...
