Excerpt from The University Militant
This book is addressed to those understand that great are taking place in the order of the world; that religion, politics, education, business cannot possibly be the same, day after tomorrow that they are to-day; that decrepit institutions are swiftly passing away, and new ones, with fresh vigor and portent, are lifting their promises into the light.
In particular it offers itself to those who are escaping from the ruins of the old religious and political superstitions, without leaving either their faith or their prudence behind them; those who are disposed to build for themselves, while there is yet time, a new intellectual and spiritual establishment that shall be strong enough to withstand both the seductions of the money-power and the assaults of the mob.
This manifesto of the University Militant undertakes to give the spirit of the University a political rating in as many towns as can seize the point of it.
Its persuasion that this spirit has, by rights, a primary jurisdiction in practical affairs, is not tentative, but confident and well tried.
