It is obvious that in any subject which is generally compulsory the standards cannot be high. I was never very anxious that all Arts students, should take either mathematics or natural philosophy; but I have all along striven to secure, so far as possible, that those who do take these subjects should be well prepared to receive them.
On ilmeistä, että mistä tahansa aiheesta, joka on yleensä pakollisia normeja ei voi olla korkea.
