L.—EDUCATIONAL SCIENCE. 255 
the professors of economics are exceedingly injudicious. We may safely 
conceive our universities as already, and likely to be more and more, great 
public institutions, deriving their income in increasing measure without 
any diminution of freedom from the State and the local authorities. 
It is to be hoped that the teachers of our universities will pari passu 
conceive themselves (as I believe they increasingly do) as lovers, seekers 
and preachers of pure knowledge for its own sake, vowed to no party when 
they speak from the chair, and rising above party so far as they can in 
all that they say or do in civic affairs outside.
