University of Chicago Theologian Langdon Gilkey notes that "when students come across him, they say, 'This is a guy who can help me.' Students tend to come alive with Schleiermacher."

There are no longer any time-wasting jurisdictional disputes, because there are no more jurisdictions. Printers help out stereotypers, stereotypers assist pressmen, pressmen lend the mailers a hand. Even reporters are called on to run copy and dirty their hands in the back shop. Hearst himself is in and out of the newsroom and the pressroom, sometimes answering the telephone or composing type.
