The professors were discontented, per- haps even apprehensive of losing their places. The history of the affair is not very clear ; but it is certain that the thrifty professors succeeded in Washington and the Higher Education. 23 some way in convincing the imaginative American statesman that a great service would be rendered to science and letters, if the whole Genevan Faculty should be taken up bodily and transported to the New World. Surely the brilliancy of the idea was surpassed only by it...s absurdity. That any Amer- ican should have favored it, is perhaps the most striking of all the numerous evidences remaining to us of an occasional tendency on the part of our good fathers to leave the solid earth and indulge in a temporary experience of the empyrean. The winged Hermes of our political gods here indulged in one of the most extraordinary of all his flights. The Genevan Faculty could lecture in French, and possibly a little in Latin ; but they had thus far deemed a knowledge of English a superfluous ac- complishment.
