...quotation from a speech of President Hadley's, which the Harvard Professor says shows that others beside foreigners uphold his views. "Nine people out of ten believe that the way to train a boy to think is to impart as much knowledge to him as possible. They do not distinguish between the possession of information and the power or habit of thought; or at any rate they assume that if you can secure the former, the latter follows as a matter of course. In no other field of life do we meet this confusion. No sensible man could think that...
...Lutherans regard indifference to creed as a terrible calamity. They sharply distinguish between the natural and supernatural and regard the word of God as inspired by Him, perfect and authoritative in every detail. They hold that the theory of evolution is unphilosophical, unscientific, unbiblical and unworthy of any scholarship.

It is said that no one can tell a Harvard man much; but it is certain that one can tell a Freshman. If one is a Senior Advisor, one may tell him a great deal. The Princeton rules, however, follow their course to its logical end; the Freshmen may not wear the college colors, and thus bring them into disrepute; they may not jeopardize themselves by venturing from their rooms after nine o'clock; worse...
...this play both the leading man and lady are given exceptional chances to show their versatility. In the prologue Waltor Gilbert imitates a reckless youth and in subsequent scenes a settled man of forty. Similarly Ann Mason is called upon to distinguish between the characters of a mother and her daughter. These difficult assignments, however, are very well fulfilled, which helps to keep "The Faithful Heart" from repeating its New York failure...
