...policies. First, the uncompromising denominational college, in which graduates and instructors have been under one influence all their lives. The man of broad religious views objected to them because it divided the Christian house against itself on narrow causes. Second is the semi-denominational college, which is, as a rule, being transformed to an institution yet broader in its policy. Third is the unsectarian college, illustrated by Harvard. Officers of the college at Harvard are appointed without reference to religious opinions, and students are not questioned concerning their religious convictions. Harvard furnishes seats for students in six churches, but technical...
...thought in preference to another seems to indicate an amount of narrowness that is extraordinary. Philosophy aims at the truth, and it is the truth that the philosophic student wants. He does not want the philosophy that may best suite the nature of his country. Dr. McCosh cites the rule of Kaut in Germany, Des Cartes in France, Reid in Scotland, etc., as examples of this nationalistic tendency of philosophy. A German philosophy thus should be one that shows the deep thought and idealism of the country; an English philosophy should be matter of fact; a French philosophy light...
...Greece, in the United States. England is now brought face to face with the ever-occurring problem of government for Ireland.

The student should put away all thought of study when eating. For a person in health few rules are best, and perhaps the following are as good as any. Give no thought to the working of your digestive organs. Do not eat by formulae, scientific, or otherwise, but eat wholesome, well cooked food, what you want and as much as you want. Leave the consideration of your work when...
...Brooks said in one of his lectures last term, the only way of averting them is by the education of the masses on this question. But how can men be enlightened unless there are those competent to instruct the great body of laborers who are, as a rule, utterly ignorant of the simplest economic principles? The smattering of knowledge which men acquire by studying one or two courses in the theory of political economy will avail nothing. What is needed at this college is a course in the theory and history of co-operation. For it is co-operation which...
