...matter of regret that space should be given in your splendid magazine to advertise a book by R. F. Foster, The Coming Faith (TIME, Dec. 28). It goes without saying that a man who has written 78 books on "bridge and other games" could not be a trained scholar. One statement is evidently true: "R. F. Foster is not a theologian." The study of bis face indicates what Plato would call a "keen and narrow intelligence," which was also true of Mephistopheles.

Man is this metamorphosed into a thing, into many things . . . . In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when...
...butler belongs the cellar and butteries, and all from thenceforth to the farthest end of the south porch; to the cook the kitchen, larder, and the way leading to the hatch, the turret, and the north alley unto the walk; neither shall the butler or cook suffer any scholar or scholars whatever, except the Fellows, Masters of Art, fellow commoners, or, officers of the House, to come into the butteries or kitchen, save with their parents or guardians, or with some grave and sober strangers; and, if any shall presume to thrust in, they shall have three pence on their...
