O knihe
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 27: December, 1861
A grey-haired professor in Yale once remarked, that, as a gen eral rule, college graduates were not as successful in politics as the self-educated; that there was a kind of prejudice primafacz'e in the community against the best educated men for public office. Is this so 1 The observation of each one will answer for itself. One thing is certain, the majority of successful professional men in our land are college graduates. In some way or other they gain advantage by these four years here. Some think it is all in the name of the thing that there is an éclat to a diploma. In these days, when a private soldier returns home, after having served in actual battle, he is made captain of the first new company that is formed, because he has smelt powder and knows the rules. The world supposes we are strengthening and perfecting our minds here, gaining knowledge and mental strength; therefore it appoints us as leaders in its intellectual armies. But we' really do gain strength and power that fits us for duty in the living, actual world.
