Modern theological thought affirms that man is not dual; man is a power that is using a physical organism. Immortality is not something that is going to be, but something that is. Creation is the expression of God's own nature, and we are beginning to think in the ology, not of a God that sits apart from nature, but of a God who is everywhere a pervasive spirit, omnipresent in all nature. The uniformity of natural law is but the habit of God, the method in which he acts. And so there is no distinction between the natural...
DEAR SIRS-I think that the graduate who complains in the CRIMSON of the poor place reserved for coaches in the Yale-Harvard game is all wrong. He says that the coaches should have one side of the field instead of an end. But this would be manifestly unfair. A coach holds about twelve men on an average, but the space taken up by one would accommodate six rows of eight men each. or 48 men. Supposing that twenty coaches-a small number were present, two hundred and forty men would occupy the space which might have held nine hundred...
...look, said he, back upon the life of the ancient Venetians and Florentines in the times of their great progress in art we are apt to think of their life as particularly bright; perhaps even more so than our own.

And to this they added the ability to express the inward thought in visible form. We have more or less lost the spirit...
...report has been going the rounds of the college to the effect that a costly iron fence is to be built quite around the yard. The story, we are aware, is not authoritatively told, and yet, even at the risk of being mistaken, we think it best to give the matter some attention. On a priori grounds doubtless a fence such as described would not be half a bad idea. Expecially if it served the purpose of excluding the trouble some trespasser and the abominable "mucker" we would be forced to admit it a common blessing. There seem...
...points brought out in President Eliot's address to the students last evening are well worth our attention. It is indeed too often true that college men think only of what the college may do for them, and forget, or at least disregard, their own duties to the college. What we need to do here is to exercise our freedom in a manly direction. After all, it is not athletics nor even endowments and advantages which make the college-but men. Thus it is that the present and the future usefulness and worth of Harvard must be largely...
