That idea I have labored for often under great discouragement, with the impression that it might be realized with a limited amount of money; whereas, if the university idea be admitted, there is no limit to the amount of money which may be used.

I believe that the evolution of new species is a question in science, and not of religion. It should be left to scientific...
...utmost limit of this stage of his experience may be but twenty years ago, and yet he may remember a few things which sound curiously now-a-days Blackheath was then, as now, the great centre of metropolitan foot-ball, although for every match played then on a Saturday afternoon there are now half-a-dozen. Those were the days of "hacking," and scenes which were frequent enough then, nay, which were almost inevitable, would not be tolerated now in the rowdiest of grounds. It was then by no means an uncommon sight to see the ball flying away...
