...wrought among them, and terrified at the consequences of the doctrine of the Anabaptists and others, who claimed like himself to have cast aside all authority and to teach from divine inspiration, began to doubt his own position. The agony of his soul's struggle we can but faintly understand. At the end of it he was no longer the champion of reason and religious individualism but their greatest defamer. It was in this spirit that he urged the persecution of the peasants, and disputed with Zivingli at Marburg concerning the Eucharist. There was something naively terrible in the vehemence...

Undoubtedly there are comparatively few men who would make use of the reference library privilege if it were granted, and yet that is no sufficient reason for withholding it. There are many times in the aggregate when students are considerably benefited by having access to the department...
