President Robinson of Brown University, at the alumni dinner in Boston last Wednesday evening, said: "Education has a two-fold purpose, first discipline and then the acquirement of knowledge. The first of these is the chief aim of academic training; not only discipline of intellect, but also discipline of all powers of man. Now, the discipline of all these powers is to be done by government, by the recognition that in colleges there are laws and laws are to be obeyed. So long as I remain where I am I propose that students shall cultivate habits of regularity and attention. I do not believe there is any education or discipline of mind in a student's staying away from his duty a week or a month and them cramming for his examination. And yet the drift of college discipline today is in that direction. But the accumulation of knowledge will come easier thorough discipline."

Mayor Fox, in his fourth annual address to the City Council, speak of Harvard University as follows: "By one of the provisions of the constitution of our Commonwealth it is made 'the duty of magistrates to cherish the interests of literature and the sciences and all seminaries of them; especially the university at Cambridge and the public schools.' Such a requirement of the constitution comes with peculiar force upon the chief magistrate of the city in which Harvard University is located, I am able to say that during my several terms of office it has been my pleasure, as well as my duty, to conform to so agreeable a feature of our fundamental law. The calls of the university, from time to time, relative to many matters conducive to the comfort and convenience of its officers and resident students, have ever been most cheerfully met by our municipality; seventy-one acres of valuable land in our very midst (not taxable, of course), yet we regard the great university, so its influence, as reflecting the highest honor upon our city."
