...matter of fact, orthodoxy is universal; many men of the most heterodoxical opinions in some walks of life are narrowly orthodoxy in others. Robert Ingersoll, the remarkably heterodoxical religious thinker, is a striking example of this, as his ideas in politics were narrow-gauge republican. Opposite orthodoxy stands liberty; but in our own age the freedom of the individual is often confused with the higher and nobler liberty of the intellect and the sprit.

The choice of the team rested upon the power of analysis and a thorough acquaintance with all the phases of the subject under consideration, and it is an interesting fact that all of the men chosen spoke on both sides of the question at the various trials. The awarding of the Coolidge Prize was also difficult, particularly as the competitors were unusually deserving...
