The great design of the knowledge communicated in a course of academic instruction is to prepare for the study of a profession, and to qualify for a proper discharge of the ordinary duties of life. No pro- fession can be successfully studied without at least some previous knowledge of the great principles of literature and science. Hence, those who aim at a full and complete equipment for entering on this department of intellectual effort are led through a course of instruction in Latin, Greek, the various subjects of mathematics, and of natural, moral and mental philosophy. Thus furnished, progress in professional study, otherwise slow and toilsome, be- comes easy and rapid. Knowledge is necessary to the most successful discharge of the duties of life. A man entirely ignorant of the subjects of the college course may live a happy and useful life; certainly, however, such an increase of knowledge as the study of these subjects secures, would render that life much more useful. And it must be conceded on all hands that ignorance here is absolutely incompatible with any very successful discharge of the ordinary duties of life. Claims of the Bible. 85
