...think it fit that the authorities make some official statement of the case to the students. A few words addressed to them by President Eliot would surely meet this demand most readily. Everybody is anxious to know about this change, and it is no more than fair that Harvard's great reforms be at least understood and appreciated by those who are most directly concerned...
...seen his light, and now has his bearings. What part can religion have in a university life? It cannot interfere with neighboring churches or set up individual creeds. No, it must have a prophetic office; it must say to the religious experiences "this is God."

The cost, when divided among the freshman class, would be very small, and there are few men who, if properly solicited, would refuse to subscribe. Then I think that the members of the class who accompanied the nine should receive small silver medals in commemoration of the victory in which they cannot help feeling they had a share, - each man to pay for his own medal, and no man to receive...
