...building. As for athletics, the best for the college are those that are most general. Intercollegiate athletics are a good thing, but must be regarded as a means to an end. There is a great need of reform in training. There is no reason, for example, why a diet on which men have flourished all their lives should be thrown away, and a disagreeable one substituted...
...head of the movement for truth and light; at the end, the Catholic church was there, in the very home of Protestantism, slowly and surely gaining ground. The chief reason for this was that the question of reforming the church was becoming political. When Luther left the Diet of Worms the heart of the people went with him.

Several alumni agreed to donate a thousand dollars provided the undergraduates...

During the first half of the nineteen century probably more students, both at Harvard and Yale, were fed upon the Scotch diet than upon any other historical material. When one contrasts the old-fashioned manuals of Adams and Eschenburg with the water-like "primers" which are everywhere in vogue, it is not surprising that a knowledge of ancient politics is dying out in American schools. In these days, when teachers and students...
