...save the world from shallowness and failure. It is to be left neither to saints nor to cranks. The child must have it; the scientist and the mechanic. By reverence alone, which is the hiding of the eyes before the mystery and the majesty of God, can we know and see God. This deep feeling of reverence does not come from palsied inactivity, but from steadfast work. The more we serve God, the more sublime and mysterious He becomes and the more we discover the significance of our reverence. The man who forgets himself in his work, who does...

...Whatever may be said of Harvard's tendency to neglect study for the encouragement of athletics, her system of deturs, prizes, scholarships and final honors has by stimulation to overwork caused the death of many a promising student. I was graduated from Harvard nine years ago, and know whereof I speak. The sudden insanity of one of the most promising of recent graduates recalls painful memories of that forcing system which has so long been in vogue at my own university. The leader of my class shortly after entering upon his sophomore work died of brain fever. The brightest light...
