...world. If Unitarianism had proved a great success, Harvard would have been the centre and seat of that success. The state of religion at Harvard is due to the failure of Unitarianism. The outcome of Unitarianism and of modernism generally at Harvard, as it may be seen by several distinct signs, is one of critical scepticism and religious indifferentism or unbelief, which leaves religion in a state of confusion, uncertainty and suspense, which means practical failure.

But in King Lear we have two distinct...

They lead with ease in the law school, and in the medical college. They are not afraid of competition with the graduates of any college.
