In the last number of the New York Churchman appeared an article on "The Harvard Experiment," as the writer conscientiously calls it, by Prof. Peck of Columbia College. We trust that a paper of such standing as the Churchman does not sanction the contents of this article. We are surprised that a man of the position that Mr. Peck occupies, should be willing to expose his narrow-mindedness. It would be useless for us to point out the false views taken by Mr. Peck, for we should be forced to quote nearly every sentence of the article. We fail to see how a man of any breadth of mind who is a believer in human goodness, could, with knowledge of the affairs of our college and experience in the life among us, express such opinions as Mr. Peck has presented. Our best answer is, "Come and see!" For our admiration for the systems which now prevail in our university and for the life and ideals which are the outcome of such elevating systems, are so strong that we are powerless to express our contempt for the mistaken ideas of Mr. Peck. Of the two suppositions in regard to Prof. Peck which we must make in order to explain his article, - either ignorance of his subject or lack of perception of moral worth, - we are by charity forced to adopt the former.
