Excerpt from The Religious Revolution of to-Day
The unique characteristic of modern times - one which gives every indication of being permanent - is that the world, both personal and external, is to an apparently increasing degree in a state of change. The immense significance of this fact is as yet but dimly perceived. The new modifies the old or displaces it in every department of life without exception and with increasing rapidity. New ideas, new movements, new ways of looking at things present themselves for attention for the first time or call upon people to change their attitude towards things they had considered settled. This state of the world renders the practical problems of personal conduct and social policy increasingly vital and complex, and makes the task of a college in its relation to them as much more difficult as an institution is less mobile than an individual.
