DALHOUSIE. In the short time during which I have bad the good fortune to have been associated with universities, I have aequired a recurring GASJ~r. nausea. It is occasioned by the attitude of those students who, feel­ ing (and rightly) that they are at universities to be taught, complain of poor treatment when they find that they are not being taught as they are aceustomed to be taught. I would like to suggest that universi'ty students are (supposedly) at universities to learn, not, primarily, te be taught. There is a vast difference.
