...evil of their unwarranted interference is a very great one. It seems to us that sometimes the proctors are not quick enough to remind too noisy students that there are others whose rights must not be infringed upon, even at the expense of a breaking up of a modest social gathering. Again it is urged that the present system of surveillance is a bad one. But is this true? Are the proctors put in the buildings to report disturbances or to prevent them? Most assuredly the latter.

...quarters of this 19th century, technical theology itself was broken open and mingled itself with life? New sciences have claimed that they, too, have revelations to give us of the will and ways of God. The actual life of men, the problems of the personal soul, the perplexities of social life; these, as well as the abstractions of the intellect, have proved their power to awaken doubt and to inspire faith. You cannot separate theology any longer by sharp lines from psychology and sociology. The open doors of the college chapel, into which no man is henceforth driven...
