...these new days of the twentieth century men are too apt, like the old Galilean fishermen, to live in the shallows of life. There is a tendency to superficiality in literature, in men's ideas of life and its meaning and in their conception of religion.

...seems to me in consideration of the interest which the students have taken in this building, that they ought to have the opportunity of contributing towards its ornamentation. It will be a home for many of them and they would naturally like to feel that they had given some thing towards its completion. They could appropriately provide by subscription for the extra cost of the carving in wood and stone at the Harvard end of the living room, or for any other form of ornament considered necessary by the architect.
