But when he publicly renounced agnosticism, announced himself a "classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and Anglo-Catholic in religion," he started an indignant fluttering in literary incubators that has not yet died down. Poet Eliot, now a naturalized British subject, a scholarly editor (The Criterion), even more highly regarded in his foster-country than in the U.

Judged by this criterion alone the field at Harvard is the equal, if not the leader of any other department in the country. This, however, nearly exhausts the favorable comment on the Field as a whole...
