...have had two very happy days. This is a good climax. As my classmate Hill said in the CRIMSON this morning, I have been a shy and reserved person,' and like a real New Englander, somewhat inexpressive, I fear. In the first twenty years of my service here I was generally conscious of speaking to men who, to say the least, did not agree with me. That was the case not only in the Faculties of the University, but also in the Board of Overseers and in such educational assemblies as I addressed. But for the last fifteen years...
...order to appreciate properly President Eliot's contribution to the solution of social questions, it is necessary first to consider the real nature of those questions. The labor question is primarily one of hostility between two classes of the community--the employees in large industrial establishments and their employers. This hostility lies deeper than the questions of wages and the hours of labor. Such questions are the most frequent subjects of controversy, but if there were no questions of wages or hours of labor, other issues would be found upon which class hostility would express itself. It is obvious that...
...quality of the race; for upon this depends the permanence of civilization itself. This should be sharply distinguished from such an inapt expression as "race suicide," which has so impressed uncritical minds.

The real danger is that there may be race degeneration through the failure to multiply on the part of those best fitted to improve the stock; that is, those who have shown their talents by their achievements. Obviously, no race can maintain its quality if it practices those methods which stock breeders...

He will show how, in the history of thought, man, nature and God have been looked upon as entirely separate from each other. Idealistic philosophy has established a real relation, in some sense a unity, of the three. This idea of their relation has brought about an almost complete transformation, in some respects, of religious teaching, the main points of which will be discussed by the speaker...
...afternoon exercises on Class Day, the statement has been made, editorially in the CRIMSON, that the issue is--"exercises in the Stadium or no-where." It seems to me, however, that to regard the matter in this way is a mistake, for this does not state the real issue. In the first place, the only authority which has so far appeared for the necessity of abandoning the Statue exercises is the somewhat vague statement that certain members of the Corporation stand ready to forbid the erection of the stands in the Delta this year because of the danger of fire...
