...afford to sacrifice the lives of men for commercial gain, it can much more easily afford to make similar sacrifice upon the altar of vigorous and unsullied manhood. The question of a life, or of a score of lives is nothing compared with that of moral purity, human self-restraint, in the interests of which, among college men, outdoor athletic sports contribute more than all other agencies combined.

This teaching was a new conception of Christian self-sacrifice; it was the foundation for the progress of the west, and was never followed out more than it is today. It is this doctrine which has made the present an age of philanthropy: people everywhere are helping their fallen brethren...
