Its distinguished pro- fessors, its venerable reputation, the organization of the stu- dents and teaching corps into an institutional whole, the isola- tion of the student from the strong ties of the home and the 1898] The use of higher' education 157 home community— all these, taken together, are able to effect this change in method when brought to bear upon a young man for four years. He acquires an attitude of mind which we have already described as critical and comparative. It is at the sam...e time conservative. He has learned to expect that the existing institution may have deeper grounds for its being than appear at first sight; while, on the other hand, the mind trained in elementary and secondary methods is easily surprised and captivated by superficial considerations and has small power of resistance against shallow critical views. It is easily swept away by a specious argument for reform, al- though we must admit that the duller, commonplace intellect that has received only an elementary education is apt to fol- low use and wont and not question the established order.
