Excerpt from Learning and Working: The Religion of Rome, and Its Influence on Modern Civilization

Whether the partial success which we have to be thankful for, is to disappear, or to be permanent; whether the pupils are to feel that they are really members of a College united together for high ends by other than mercenary bonds; whether they shall feel that they are instead of merely acquiring a few scraps of miscellaneous information, must depend mainly upon the teachers, upon the prin ciples which govern their thoughts and acts, upon the fellowship and mutual understanding which there is among them. Since these Lectures were delivered, some have joined our body, whose cooperation we had no right to count upon, but who have given us their most cordial and persevering assistance. Mr. Ruskin has procured for our Drawing class a reputation that has been reflected on the whole society, of which it forms a most important part. I would not insult him, or any of my colleagues, by expressing any wonder or gratitude that they have undertaken tasks, which, I am sure, bring the most abundant reward with them; but I do thank them, one and all, for giving the best pledge which they could give of zeal in the cause of the Working-men, in that they have not shrunk from associating themselves with a person from whom many of them differ widely in opinion, and whose name can bring them nothing but discredit with the world.
