the degree of excellence attained is no doubt lower than with us.
But I conceive that the general level of the University education is
higher there than with us; that a young man is more sure of getting
his education, and that a smaller percentage of men leaves Harvard
College utterly uneducated than goes in that condition out of Oxford

its nature, and study is more absolutely the business of the place
than it is at our Universities.

The expense of education at Harvard College is not much lower than
at our colleges; with us there are, no doubt, more men who are
absolutely extravagant than at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The actual
authorized expenditure in accordance with the rules is only L50 per
annum, _i.e._ 249 dollars; but this does not, by any means, include
everything. Some of the richer young men may spend as much as L300
per annum, but the largest number vary their expenditure from L100
to L180 per annum; and I take it the same thing may be said of our
Universities. There are many young men at Harvard College of very
small means. They will live on L70 per annum, and will earn a great
portion of that by teaching in the vacations. There are thirty-six
scholarships attached to the University varying in value from L20 to
L60 per annum; and there is also a beneficiary fund for supplying
poor scholars with assistance during their collegiate education. Many
are thus brought up at Cambridge who have no means of their own, and
I think I may say that the consideration in which they are held among
their brother students is in no degree affected by their position.
I doubt whether we can say so much of the sizars and bible clerks at
our Universities.

At Harvard College there is, of course, none of that old-fashioned,
time-honoured, delicious, mediaeval life which lends so much grace and
beauty to our colleges. There are no gates, no porter's lodges, no
butteries, no halls, no battels, and no common rooms. There are no
proctors, no bulldogs, no bursers, no deans, no morning and evening

 But I gestate that the general level of the University education is

 The expense of education at Harvard College is not much broken than

 to L180 per annum; and I take it the same thing may be said of our
