...there was anything in the Bible to fit it especially for being the sacred book of nations in an advancing state of civilization. The Hebrew religion began its development at an advanced stage. It was the outgrowth of former polytheistic religions and began its growth with the a lvanced idea of monotheism. The Hebrews' one God grew to be the God who created the land and sea. Later he became the God of the Hebrews alone; he cared for no other people. Thus the Hebrew religion grew up inside a strict wall shutting it off from the outside world...
...chief God not superior to all the others, but, so to speak, chief among equals. This chief God was Varuna, the enveloper of heaven and sea. The conception of this great enveloper was very beautiful. Dr. Everett read a hymn to Varuna which almost reached the lofty idea of monotheism. But the worship of Varuna gave place to that of Indra, the God of thunder showers. Here again the religion rose to the verge of monotheism but did not quite fully reach...
...essence of Hegel's doctrine-Hegel's secret, as Dr. Sterling has called it-was the appreciation of the fundamental paradox of consciousn ss.

All consciousness is merely an appeal to other consciousness, to a past self. The more we commune with others, the richer this past consciousness becomes. An attempt to attain holiness through separation from the world is therefore useless. True, spiritual life...

Hovey and Chase were in good form, and played a strong and unfaltering game. They seemed to play more with the idea of tiring out their opponents, although many of their returns were beautifully done. They did not seem to tire at all, where as Tallant and Lee showed the effect of the first set, and were visibly tired out in the last two. Their chief fault was a slow return...
...satisfactory as we had hoped it would be. The Orange team was neither as strong nor as skilled as, was expected and while the game was fairly well played on both sides, Harvard was able to run up a score from which it is impossible to get an idea of the comparative strength of our team. We have no more reason to congratulate ourselves over-much because the score was over sixteen, to nothing than we have to feel especially proud of the result of other recent games...
