Nor can we regard this warning as unjust when we consider that all future classes may be influenced by the action of '75 this year...
...elements, one active, one inert, - force and matter; but perhaps came nearer the truth than our German contemporaries in recognizing these elements as divine intelligences rather than dead and aimless. The business of science is, indeed, analysis. It returns us elements for the wholes we give it. The danger is lest we lose the former, so much the more important.

The Harvard boat being thus held back, her captain ordered...
