An ideal college should be a community, a place of close, natural, intimate association,

not only of the young men who are its pupils and novices in various lines of study, but also of young men with older men, with maturer men, with veterans and professionals in the great undertaking of learning, of teachers with pupils, outside the classroom as well as inside it.No one is successfully educated within the walls of any particular classroom or laboratory or museum, and no amount of association, however close and familiar and delightful, between mere beginners can ever produce the sort of enlightenment which the young lad gets when he first begins to catch the infection of learning.The trouble with most of our colleges nowadays is that the faculty of the college live one life and the undergraduates quite a different one.They constitute two communities.The life of the undergraduates is not touched with the personal influence of the teachers; life among the teachers is not touched by the personal impressions which should come from frequent and intimate contact with undergraduates.This separation need not exist, and, in the college of the ideal university, would not exist.

It is perfectly possible to organize the life of our colleges in such a way that students and teachers alike will take part in it, in such a way that a perfectly natural daily intercourse will be established between them, and it is only by such an organization that they can be given real vitality as places of serious training, be made communities in which youngsters will come fully to realize how interesting intellectual work is, how vital, how important, how closely associated with all modern achievement------only by such an organization that study can be made to seem part of life itself.Lectures often seem very formal and empty things, recitations generally prove very dull and unrewarding.It is in conversation and natural intercourse with scholars chiefly that you find how lively knowledge is, how it ties into everything that is interesting and important, how intimate a part it is of everything that is ‘practical'and connected with the world.Men are not always made thoughtful by books, but they are generally made thoughtful by association with men who think.
