The duties assigned to the Professor of History and Political Economy are so light as to afford no adequate employment to a college officer. Barnard thinks it a great mistake to make History, political or civil, a subject of instruction in the undergraduate course. An undergraduate student should learn how to learn history but not be taught history itself. In this particular case Barnard has no doubt that the instruction is substantially thrown away. The Professor continually complains of the listlessness, inattention, imperfect performance and general ill behavior of his class. The same classes in general are everywhere else attentive, diligent and orderly. Lectures on history may do in universities where the audience are graduates but here they seem to him grossly out of place. Our Professor of History is not a fast talker. He tells the young men as much as he can tell them in an hour on Monday and then on Friday he meets them and sits out the hour silent while they tell him back what he told them on Monday. The teaching of Political Economy is conducted in the same manner with another class who are, if possible, more inattentive and less interested than the class in History. Lieber does not have enough to do. He does not share his equal burden with his colleagues and yet Barnard is very sure that they would very gladly relieve him of even the duties that he has and cheerfully do his work for him, if by such means they could be spared the annoyances that that department is occasioning. Barnard believes that he has saved Dr. Lieber much that would have been unpleasant by means of which he has no suspicion and which are known to nobody except the limited number of students whom it concerned to know.
