But, although with us the opportunity for non-resident study may be too little accorded, it is, and I hope always will be, the case that our Universities are true centers of in- struction and original research on the part both of teacher and student. Just as it does not require that a College shall cover the whole field of undergraduate work to be a College of the highest rank, so it is certainly not necessary that the entire philosophic faculty and all the professional faculties shall be repre...sented in an institution to entitle it to the lofty name of University. But it is necessary that the tone and atmosphere of the place shall be that of freedom and independence, of freedom from prejudice, but of loyalty to truth ; that the influ- ence of great men laboring with whole-souled devotion shall permeate it ; and that the stimulus to original thought and research shall be as keen as the inducement to adopt the words and thoughts of masters is fair and open. Our American Universities are, as Bryce says, truly preserv- ing this ideal ; and whether they deal with pure abstract science, or with the most practical or professional branches, 10 this free spirit is maintained.
