...whose prime quality only and foundation of character is manliness, the sense of duty so all controlling that he is reacy for duty's call whenever and wherever it comes to him. That manly sense of obligation to God and men which puts work before pleasure and inspires the soul to meet with a spirit of a conqueror what is distasteful...
...student, has no more acquaintance with the world about the college than a clerk has in a town where he may happen to be employed. If he is introduced to people, he is sure of a hospitable reception; if not he may stay there, for years without knowing a soul whom he does not meet in a professional way.

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...
