And let me say, also, that from whatever quarter opposition may come to the highest possible elevation of the standard of Greek teaching in our academical classes, it will not come from me Whatever amount of force I should spend in indoctrinating a few raw lads with the mere elements of grammar from this Chair, would be so much abstracted from the service of the great mass of those who are entitled to ex- pect from an academic teacher something far higher. It becomes Edinburgh, as the metropoli...tan University, to lead the van in all matters of academical progress, not to lag in the rear ; and if the remaining three Universities of Scotland shall not follow in this matter, the example now set by two of their number, it needs little foresight to prophesy, that it will be more to their shame than to our loss.
