Excerpt from The Teaching of English in the Universities of England: With a Note in Comment on the Article I am not overlooking the very great power of the Report for good. This appears on almost every page, and makes it seem ungrateful for a teacher of English to criticize details. Above all, its impartiality is praiseworthy. Any one who looks through the list of members of the Committee will see that it consisted of people whose interests are rather in English literature than in English language, and in literature rather modern than mediaeval. In spite of this, the justice with which the Committee have striven to hold the balance ought to be recognized. They show that sense of fair play which one always expects from a body of Englishmen and Englishwomen. The Committee empha size the importance of mediaeval studies, and of the study of the English language. They insist that the normal English 'school' should be a School' of Language as well as Literature. But protest must be made against the despondent view which the Committee take as to the qualifications to be expected from the candidate for English Honours.
