Excerpt from The World's Cyclopedia of Biography, Vol. 3: Containing: Locke, by Thomas Fowler; De Foe, by William Minto; Burke, by John Morley; Bunyan, by J. A. Froude; Hume, by Prof. Huxley; Gibbon, by J. C. Morrison; Thackeray, by Anthony Trollope
Mr. F ox-bourne attempts to supply a detailed account of the lectures which Locke attended, and the course of studies which he pursued, during his undergraduate and bachelor da S. This ac count, however, betrays an innocent belief in the rigi enforcement and observance of University and College statutes, which, I am sorry to say, I cannot Share. Minute regulations regarding courses Of study and attendance at lectures are apt very soon to fall into desuetude, and it is impossible now to reconstruct with any accur acy, from the perusal of merely formal documents, a plan of the student life of the Commonwealth. It is to be much regretted that Locke and his contemporaries have not left us more specific inform ation on the subject. All we can now say is that, if the authorities duly enforced their statutes and regulations, especially those relat ing to professorial lectures, many of which were appointed to be given at eight o'clock in the morning,'the students of those days had by no means an easier time of it than their successors, even in these days of competition and examinations.
