...West appeared in Germany a few years ago, thousands of copies were sold. Cultivated European discourse quickly became Spengler-saturated. Spenglerism spurted from the pens of countless disciples. It was imperative to read Spengler, to sympathize or revolt. It still remains so. The second volume, treating of the kinship of _ plants, animals, men, parallels of law, cities & cultures, languages, religions, ethics & morals, stimulates further astonishment and elation. These are fruits of contact with perhaps the most colossal mind of our age, a mind which forces wondrous patterns on the chaos of history, which perceives equally stirring significances in Greek...
...liberal (quasi-Roman) high church & to the evangelical (Methodistic) low church. When it came time to take up the proposed exclusion of the 39 articles of prayer, a bad-taste controversy loomed. High churchmen did not want the articles; low churchmen wanted them, because their inclusion prevented even the kinship of resemblance to the Church of Rome.

There is no kinship whatever between the two men. It is bad enough that his unhappy marital affairs should bring into disrepute this younger man's rather crude religious efforts; but let not his collapse reflect upon a Christian preacher who for years has rendered blameless service to churches in many lands...
...Department of Bio-Chemical Sciences was created, with the object of removing evils then present in the system of pre-medical education. Although the achievements toward which the two systems point are essentially different, there is a similarity between the field that is not wholly superficial. The kinship between Physics and Chemistry is likewise great enough so that the influence of the sister science will probably be thrown into the scales. Dangerous in the extreme would be any application of the principle of unity as an educational rule of thumb; nevertheless the acceptance of the tutorial system...
