Economics is not and cannot be a panacea of social evils; something more is needed that recognizes other qualities in man besides his mere covetousness, and that will add to the question.

Science and sentiment join hands, - both are absolutely essential. Science without sentiment makes a man hard-hearted; sentiment without science makes a man soft-hearted. The influence of love must temper the reign...
...good bye to Ninety-two. Like all good byes it has to fall short of the fullest expression to which the college would like to give voice; it cannot tell all that the college wants to tell, because what the college feels cannot well be told in mere words.

...what Battelle did, so much as what he was to his friends and even mere acquaintances that makes his death such a blow to the college - his memory so tender. Battelle's nature was essentially lovable. Unusually kind and sympathetic, invariably courteous and considerate of others, generous in thought and action, keenly sensitive, and serene even in the midst of the suffering which has been his lot for several years, - he was a thorough gentleman. And the memory of Harold Battelle will linger among his classmates until the class itself shall be no longer a memory...
