XCIX

In an ideal University,.... the force of living example should fire the

student with a noble ambition to emulate the learning of learned

men, and to follow in the footsteps of the explorers of new fields of

knowledge. And the very air he breathes should be charged with that

enthusiasm for truth, that fanaticism of veracity, which is a greater

possession than much learning; a nobler gift than the power of

increasing knowledge; by go much greater and nobler than these, as the

moral nature of man is greater than the intellectual; for veracity is

the heart of morality. Do what you can to do what you ought, and leave

hoping and fearing alone.
