Where the Roots of Scotch Uni-
versities Are,
[Hamilton W. Mabie in the Outlook,]
The roots of the universities are in
every village, and in every part of Scot-
land the romance of young aspiration is
told and retold in the loving frugality of
fathers and mothers, in the passionate
zeal and eagerness of ardent and ambi-
tious boys. For the Scotch university is
not the training-ground of the aristoc-
racy; it is the broad, open field in which
had terrible advantages.
the sober-minded, God-fearing democ-
racy of Scotland finds its opportunity.
No other institutions are more demo-
cratic in spirit, more simple in habit,
more keenly in touch with the frugal,
working life of the people, than the
higher schools which have given Scot-
land vigorous thinkers, courageous
scholars, strenuous preachers, and a
long succession of leaders of light and
force. “Five and thirty years have I
been minister at Drumtochty,” the Doc-
tor used to say at school examinations,
“and we have never wanted a student at
the University, and while Dominie
Jamieson lives we never shall.” Where-
upon Domsie took snuff, and assigned
his share of credit to the Doctor, “who
gave the finish in Greek to every lad
of them, without money and without
price, to make no mention of the higher
mathematics. Seven ministers, four
schoolmasters, four doctors, one profes-
sor, and three civil service men had been
sent out by the auld schule in Domsie’s
time, besides many that had given them-
selves to mercantile pursuits.” And
when Domsie, the schoolmaster, gets the
news of George Howe's great success,
he cannot rest until he has carried it
to the little stone house set in the old-
fashioned garden. No list of promotions
in a gazette ever brought more honest
joy and pride than the simple announce-
ment in the boy’s letter. Domsie be-
comes almost lyrical in his delight:
““First.in the Humanity and first in the
Greek, sweepit the field, Lord preserve
us. A’ can hardly believe it. Eh, I was
feared o’ thae High School lads. They
Maisters frae
England, and tutors, and whatna, but
Drumtochty carried off the croon. It'll
be fine reading in the papers:
““Humanity—First Prize (and Medal),
George Howe, Drumtochty, Perthshire.
“ “GrREEK—First Prize (and Medal),
George Howe, Drumtochty, Perthshire.
““As for me, I wadna change places
wi the Duke o’ Athole,’ and Domsie
shook the table to its foundation.”

Architecture at Harvard.
. [From Speech of President Eliot at Harvard Com
mencement Dinner, 1899.]
- This week, too, the Corporation re-
ceived letters which apprised them that
a person whose name is not to be men-
tioned has decided to give $200,000 for
the furtherance of our department of
Architecture, $100,000 for a building, and
$100,000 as endowment for the building.
This, gentleman, is a unique gift.
Never before did we receive a fund for
the endowment of a building before we
received the building; yet this giver has
already paid $100,000 to our Treasurer
for the endowment of a building the
plans of which are not yet drawn. The
Corporation and Board of Overseers
must take special pleasure in this sub-
ject of endowment,—architecture, earli-
est of the fine arts, which contributes
more than any other fine art to the
pleasure and the comfort of a civilized
people. We welcome architecture to our
communion. Only five years ago the
Corporation with some little hesitation
ventured upon the appointment of an
assistant professor of Architecture.
They have now made him professor, and
they look forward to a good develop-
ment of that subject.

The Course for Yale.
[Providence Journal.]
The thing to do is to peg away with-
out apology or complaint. Yale has not
anything like the discouragement to con-
~ tend with that Harvard has overcome.

“Let no one be troubled too much about
what is said,” adds the Werxty, “but
rather let all concern themselves about
what is done.” Athletic victories have
been scarce at Yale this year, the Har-
vard triumphs in England and at the
American tennis tournaments coming as
one more thrust at Yale supremacy in
the arena of amateur sport, but where
there is a will there is a way. It will be
a surprise for which the admirers of col-
lege sport are not yet prepared if Yale
does not obtain her full share of athletic
glory in the immediate future.
Dewey Day at Yale.
Four of the U. S. Cruiser Yale’s flags
with several smaller flags were hung
from the Vanderbilt, Phelps and Shef-
field Halls, and on the Miller Memorial —
gateway, in observation of Dewey Day |
last week. The guns in the Gymnasium
were also decorated. The committee in
charge of the display was Walter
Dunham Makepeace and Nathan Ayer
Smyth, classmates of the late Theodore
W. Miller.
