Consequently
the majority of students, finding themselves lost in
an inextricable maze, have abandoned all individual
effort, including even that which their own wits
might have placed within their power, as though
they were fettered by certain rigid laws, and keeping their eyes fixed upon their master have ceased
to follow the guidance of nature.
