...have? We doubt if the Faculty has done all that it might to awaken men to a sense of their real duties in such cases. So long as the man who does not copy smiles pleasantly on his neighbor who does, no threats of separation from the University will kill out the practice...
...must get rid of the numerous theological distinctions and go back to the kernel of truth. This theory seems to kill progress, but it is the theory held by many great reformers, such as Plato and in our later times Theodore Parker. Religion grows by modifying and drawing together contradictions. The doctrine of eternal punishment was formerly preached most vehemently, and a sect arose who contradicted belief flatly.

This was done by the one year residence clause, which has met with almost universal approval, and by the four year time limit, the advisability of which is by no means so certain...
