University Tendencies in America

The century just closed is commonly said to have made greater progress for the human race than all that preceded it since the dawn of the Christian era. However great, it was a progress made possible by the diffusion of learning; it was very largely stimulated by American colleges and universities, and was in nothing more remarkable or more valuable than in the progress of these colleges and universities themselves. Their growth in in?uence, the change in their character, resources and scope since the Civil War, and especially in the last twenty years, have been almost revolutionary.
