The prospect of a closer educational union between the British and American Universities cannot but appeal to the undergraduate imagination. In the agitation at Princeton for the establishment of scholarships for English students, there may be seen a definite step toward the realization of this dream. The interest which has been aroused over the subject encourages the hope that Princeton's action is the beginning of a general movement among the American universities which will perform a real service to the country.
Aside from the more obvious advantages to be derived from the presence of British scholars in the United States, a distinct contribution would be made to our educational system. The influence of students who have had a very different kind of training would soon be reflected in our methods of instruction. If the service which is being performed by the Rhodes Scholarships may be taken as a criterion, there is every reason to encourage the establishment of similar scholarships in this country. At any rate, the experiment is worth trying. Yale News.
