Now these theories, which are cherished by the public and nursed by weak minded men are most fatal and are the very ones which the teachings of the University tend to destroy. "The University is the last place to weaken faith in the worth of character" and is the place above all others to strengthen the belief of spiritual forces and to trace the history of Christianity to the Almighty...
