...single case the President endorsed the terms of the CRIMSON's lease when the Society took the CRIMSON's old quarters. It is submitted that this is not ground to justify their statement in regard to the signing of "some leases." We may, therefore, lay aside any argument that they have based upon this ground...
...President get $800 per year and the Secretary $10.00 per meeting. Another Faculty member moved that a plan for reorganization and incorporation be drawn. He was afterwards appointed to draw the plan which is the one now under discussion. The majority directors then printed the plan, and their argument in favor, at the expense of the Society but refused the same privilege to the minority.

The argument set forth is interesting, and unique to such an extent that many will doubtless disagree with its verdict--that the church should "candidly confess its ignorance and independence of scientific demonstration," and become symbolistic rather than rationalistic, artistic rather than scientific...
