...Unitarians, but the Divinity School today is no more a Unitarian than the College is a Puritan institution. The constitution of the School explicitly provides that "no assent to the peculiarities of any denomination of Christians shall be required either of the instructors or students." The Faculty comprises teachers from many communions; the students come from different denominations in which, after graduation, they render acceptable service as ministers. No teacher in the School ever thinks of harmonizing his instruction with that of his colleagues. When inquiry is made, as it not infrequently is, what the Harvard Divinity School teaches...

Failure to learn on the part of the student is no loss...
...influence of Brooks House is felt beyond the confines of Harvard, even as far as Constantinople, where it is supporting a teacher on the faculty of Robert College, Charles E. Dickerson of the class of 1920. Here at home, 250 men are leading boys' clubs and doing Americanization work among foreigners through the social agencies of Cambridge and Boston. Ten entertainments for the poor, in which about fifty undergraduates have participated, have already been given this year. Three cases of students' clothes have been given to worthy people of Cambridge and Boston and one case has been sent to Armenia...
