The objection that Matthew Arnold made to receiving the title of professor - that so many better entitled to it - professors of dancing, of mesmerism and the like - already bear it, is well know. The Burlington Hawkeye, with its usual forcible style, hits off the same weakness as follows: "A man swims further than any other man - professor; a man cuts corns and cures bunions for a living - professor; he waltzes three hours without resting - professor; plays the fiddle and imparts to others the secrets of the diabolical art - professor; walks a slack rope stretched across the street - professor; goes without eating twenty days - professor; rides four horses bareback - professor; sings in the choir - professor; teaches a brass band - professor; cures warts - professor; plays billiards for a living - professor; trains dogs - professor; performs some clever trick of sleight of hand - professor; does anything in the world except teach, and knows less of books and schools than he does of heaven - professor.
