...Wright provides a surprise when on the first page we find him presenting us with "A Note on Pagan Morals." We half expect an uncompromising attack or even an apology for the ancient and mythical man of straw, who is supposed to reign in Harvard square, with zones of influence extending far up Brattle street and as far down as the dens of Boylston Hall,--the demon of irreligion. But what Mr. Wright gives us is a colorful web of reminiscence and meditation. He pleads for a creed of spiritual temperance, of purity and discipline, for the sake...
...February number of the Monthly does not loss in interest though it presents a surprising contrast to the "Pagan" issue of last month. The figures and sentiments of antiquity no longer flit through its pages; they are replaced by comparatively modern and sordid actualities; like the U. S. Foreign Policy, the "Movie" and the Theatre and the Harvard Regiment. The prevailing note of the number is non-fictional; indeed, the only serious criticism that can be brought against the Monthly of 1916 is the absence of anything particularly creative in the realm of the short story...

Not only do the faun and Bacchus sport upon the cover, but also there is keen sincerity in the written work. If the contributors are almost always conscious in their pose and if sometimes the strain is over-obvious, this is no fault of theirs: in our world sanity cannot be unconscious...
...other words, Chapel takes strong hold of many of those who have given it a fair trial,--the most eloquent of arguments in its favor. The reason for the small support is not the indifference of the Harvard man toward religion, nor yet the essentially pagan tenor of his mind. The student should rather be blamed for allowing an asset, as a correspondent this morning puts it, to go unappreciated. Plenty of men in College have never been inside of Appleton, and a lot more have never been there under favorable circumstances. The average student has no conception of what...
...first point against the religions of India, China and Japan is that they have not reached any spiritual conception of the deity. Now if it is meant that the man on the street has not such a conception, we can say the same thing of any country, Christian or pagan. But if it is meant that even the thoughtful members of Asiatic communities have not had such a conception, either at present or in the past, this would betray an absolute ignorance of the Bhaktidoctrine of India which has been in existence there ever since 150 B.C. at least...
