President McCosh is endeavoring to elevate Princeton to the scale of a university. The excellent opportunities which are now afforded students of that college to pursue post-graduate courses, especially in philosophy, speak well for the undertaking. The progress which has been made in systems of study almost necessitate university methods. Any college, however prosperous, which neglects the tendencies to an enlarged scope of work and persists in purely college work, cannot reasonably hope for distinguished success or marked progress. The more collegiate study is elevated in its facilities and methods the broader will be the scholarship evolved. A university in contra-distinction to a collegiate education will be the education of the next generation. Some schools close their eyes to the fact and refuse to believe it. Certain decay awaits such. Other colleges acknowledge the truth and advance to meet it. Princeton is a college which has long been one of the foremost colleges of the land; we trust that it will soon be justly termed one of the leading universities of our country.
