The faculty of 19th century colleges were in a dilemma. They had won distinction
in the past for an arbitrary concentration on Latin and the classics. By 1850, this was
somewhat archaic. Latin continued somewhat as a universal language. This is exemplified
by medicine being in Latin.
However; there was a discrepancy between a classical education and the modernizing world.
Most people had apathy for Latin. There was a demand for science and technology. The
metaphor: Being left behind is apt to the old school’s curriculums.
