THE COLLEGE;
OR,
WOMAN'S RELATION TO EDUCATION.
IN THREE LECTURES.
I.--THE CHRISTIAN DEMAND AND THE PUBLIC OPINION.
II.--HOW PUBLIC OPINION IS MADE.
III.--THE MEANING OF THE LIVES THAT HAVE MODIFIED IT.
Now press the clarion on thy woman's lip,
(Love's holy kiss shall still keep consecrate,)
And breathe the fine, keen breath along the brass,
And blow all class-walls level as Jericho's
Past Jordan.... The world's old;
But the old world waits the hour to be renewed.
AURORA LEIGH.
_Two_ of far nobler shape, erect and tall,--
Godlike erect, with native honor clad
In naked majesty,--_seemed lords of all:_
_And worthy seemed;_ for in their looks divine
The image of their glorious Maker shone,--
Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and pure;
Whence true authority in men.
MILTON.
THE COLLEGE.
I.
THE CHRISTIAN DEMAND AND THE PUBLIC OPINION.
"Since I am coming to that holy room,
Where, with the choir of saints for evermore,
I shall be made thy music; as I come,
I tune the instrument here at the door,
And what I must do then, think here before."
MACDONALD.
To propose an essay on education requires no little courage; for the
term has covered, with its broad mantle, every thing that is stupid,
perverse, and oppressive in literature. We will not tax ourselves,
however, to consider exact theories, or suggest formal dissertations. In
these lectures, let us take all the liberties of conversation; pass, in
brief review, a wide range of subjects; comment lightly, not thoroughly,
upon them; and trust to quick sympathies and intelligent apprehension to
follow out any really useful suggestions that may be made.
