...supply and demand to all industrial relations, excluding entire considerations of ethics and sentiment. This, too, discredits Christianity. It would bar Christ out from the kingdom of business and hand religion over to women and children. We are encouraged by the fact that the best political economists to-day reject this materialistic theory and teach a doctrine in closest harmony with Christian ethics. The lecturer proceeded to state some principles of action which may assist the advance among the common people of a Christian theory of economics. The efficiency of labor increases as hopefulness, ambition and self-respect are created...
...extend our heart felt sympathy to those unfortunates whom the hard decrees of a cruel fate and a more cruel faculty, doom to stay in Cambridge during the recess. As for those who reject the blessed privilege of leaving the college for a few days, - who stay in Cambridge to grind, - we can only pity for their foolishness, and pass them by.

The college, of course, has a college yell, a bell ringer...

In so far, therefore, as our notion of right and wrong is founded on experience, it would not seem to be at all effected by fatalism; and we have seen that fatalism does not discourage us in working out our purposes. The case is different, however, if we reject experience as the sole test of right conduct. For if right conduct be that which is intrinsically consistent and harmonious with our nature and the nature of our relations to all things, then any change in our idea of these relations will change our idea of right and wrong...
