The question of elective courses had already forced itself upon us, and we yielded something in this direction. I suppose that it is heresy to confess this now, but I did not believe in elective courses in 223 FIFTY YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPLE colleges and never favored them. I do not believe in them now. They belong to the university, and, as Professor Miinsterberg once said, the American col- lege of to-day seems to me to be a cross between a university and a kindergarten. The old college was a p...lace of severe discipline, mental and moral. It has dropped out in America, and nothing has taken its place. It may be true that in this age of speciali- zation the "all-round man" of the old time is an impossibility. Certainly it is hard to find one; but it seems to me all the more necessary for the specialist to have four years of general discipline and culture, with no option as to what he will study, before he begins to specialize; and I say this with- out any reference to the many obvious abuses of the elective system, which are not an essential part of it.
