We next witnessed the rivalry between the endowed and the unendowed houses, and saw how the former, after pushing the latter out of business and existence, monopolized the privileges and powers of the university, -- a monopoly which Laud's Caroline Code recognized and confirmed in a manner that contributed greatly to its endurance. Of the collegiate system which thus came into existence in mediseval time, and gradually acquired the absolute control of the academic community, it may be remarked that, whatever the advantages accruing from its operation, it weakened and almost extinguished the affection which the students of DR. JOHNSON ON THE COLLEGIATE SYSTEM. 299 old time cherished for the entire scholastic community. It broke the whole into parts, and substituted the sentiment of collegiate attachment for the sentiment of devotion to Alma Mater. In conversation 'college' gradually usurped much of the signification that had in ancient time belonged to 'university.' The title of' collegian' pushed that of 'university student' out of fashion. Instead of being described as a man who had been educated 'at the university, ' the Oxonian graduate was more generally said to have 'been at college;' and though Alma Mater has recently been liberated, to a certain extent, from the tyranny of the collegiate system, years and generations must pass ere the university will recover from her subjection to the co.
