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...

Professor Fitch discusses "Religion and the Undergraduate," and tries to find why a larger proportion of students do not come under the formal religious teaching of the University. He thinks we need more doctrinal preaching. One wonders if the strongest call to ingenuous youth does not come in preaching, as in teaching, through large...
