"The nature of the work of the American college has been markedly altered in the last thirty years. From an aggregation of the college studies bearing very little upon life's probloms and concerning itself mainly with the classica, mathematics, and the remote things in art and literature, litera-ture, it has become a gronb of studies very closely relancd to life. Chemistry has succeeded Greek literature: a study of soils and crops and animal breeding has succeeded dissertations on philosophy. A study of the movement move-ment of water and the chemicals in the soils and of plant growth has succeeded the study of higher high-er mathematics. A study of the kitchen and its complex problems has succeeded a study of the abstractions ab-stractions of literature. And women virile mentally ana it lias made them earners of bread." |
