...hand information concerning social evils and their alleviation from persons who have devoted their whole time and attention to the work. Harvard men have never been lacking in enthusiasm for social service; such a conference as this, offering as it does an opportunity for criticism by professional social workers, cannot fail to be of material aid in showing them how to apply that enthusiasm to best advantage...
...seeing something of the world before settling down to the everyday work of life. This should appeal to men intellectually inclined, who have a love of adventure and of travel over unbeaten paths. The experience of living in the Orient for a year presents educational possibilities which mere travelling cannot give, as it brings a man into intimate touch with the life of the people, and enables him to study it under the most favorable conditions. Now that the importance of the Orient is beginning to be fully realized, a knowledge of this part of the world is of great...
...pervading principle throughout the "Divina Commoedia" is the personal revelation which it signifies in the personal experiences of Dante. At the very outset, Dante is shown that he cannot take the direct route he had chosen, towards the light of God, because of the obstacles he had created through his own sin.

Beatrice, who has been Dante's guide through the "Paradiso," now leads him to look upon the great white light of Truth absolute. But Dante is blinded and cannot see it until he looks into Beatrice's eyes, when he feels an inward transformation and understanding. Beatrice is the embodiment of theology; and although man cannot see absolute Truth itself, he may see it translated in theologic form. Dante continues climbing up the golden ladder of the "Paradiso" until he reaches the Empyrion where Beatrice's place is taken by St. Bernard, the mystic. Here Dante has no more need...
