In our issue of yesterday appeared an article on "College Education in Business Life," and with the sentiments expressed therein, we, not only as students of a large and far advanced university, but also as those who would see all businesses and occupations elevated and ennobled by intellectual training, must all agree. That education, if properly used, and properly and modestly esteemed, will give both greater power and greater pleasure to business men, as well as to the literati, is undeniable. The question, however, takes at first sight a slightly different phase, when we consider whether or not the education at professional schools should be preceded by the regular collegiate training. Is it better for students to go right from the high school or the academy to the professional school? or do students gain sufficiently to pay for the time, and expense by taking the college course and getting the college training? Here, too, it would seem that the balance of argument must be on the side of college education. Indeed, the same arguments which apply to education in business life, must apply, only with even greater force, to education in professional life. We say, "with even greater force," because the intellectual requirements of professions are unquestionably greater than those of business. It is true that six or seven years, following graduation at a high school, seems at first a long time to devote to mere preparation for the later practical work of life. In itself it is perhaps a long time; but in the added power and more elevated and comprehensive conceptions that it imparts, it is short. Our youth to-day are too much inclined to hurry. In the travels of Baron Munchausen, we read of a man who had to have cannon balls tied to his feet to prevent him from running too fast. Would it not be well to tie something of the same sort, say, four years of college life, and college training, and college education, to the legs of all the hasty and over-ambitius fortune seekers of to-day?
