...elements of their several subjects taught earlier than is now the custom. With the exception of the Language Conferences, all desire to have perspective views or broad surveys of their subjects,-expecting that in later years these may be amplified. The fundamental questions, however, and the ones which affect most seriously the preparation in secondary schools, namely, questions 7 and 8, are answered in the negative unanimously by both conferences and committee. This means, that no matter what a student in a secondary school may be preparing for, his education in any topic must be identical with that given...
Many people have a mistaken impression that the so-called higher criticism has injured the integrity of the Bible. Higher criticism is simply a study of the frame in which the word of God is presented to us, and it cannot affect in the slightest degree, the picture within the frame. This distinction is sharply drawn in the higher criticism, but unfortunately there is a difference between higher criticism and higher critics.

(b) It will not materially affect our commercial relations with China. (c) It is the best policy. (1) Benefits the Chinamen legally here. (2) Is easy to comply with. (3) Is not too strict, our former laws having been grossly violated...
...their college expenses. This is doubtless true, and whatever measures are adopted to overthrow the system will probably not be such as to make it absolutely impossible to give seminars and to earn money in this way. No rule can be passed forbidding them, for rules would not affect outside tutors and there would be an obvious injustice to a college man who happened to want to give seminars. The Faculty can take away scholarships from men giving seminars, but positive prohibition is very unlikely. This argument cannot be readily met; we can only say that the man who depends...
