President Capen. of Tufts College,
ut its recent commencement, gave vent
to some views regarding pre-Reforma-
ton Europe. He said in part:
arches of a great cathedral of the Old
World. l look around on vast pile
which was centuries in building and
which it would require the resources
Of an empire to reproduce. My eye
is caught by the delicacy and grace
which seemed to be the response to
every tap of the workmans hammer.
1 say, surely the men of the olden
time We're not inferior to the men of
today, and when 1 am reminded, too,
that all this majesty and beauty We're
the votive offerings of faith and love,
my soul is filled with humility and
gratitude.
Il would not put the hands back on
the dial plate of time, 1 would not
have the nineteenth and twentieth CEN
turtles exchange places with the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries. I would not
have mankind halt in their mighty
march of progress. Nor would 1 put
out of my mind the marvellous offerings
for learning and charity which render
our age illustrious.
But could wish that we had some
thing more of the religious faith, some
thing more of the absorbing devotion,
omething more of the self-denying love
of those earlier times injected into our
age, even though it might mean for all
Of us simpler life and loss of some
of the products which we now reckon
as part Of the wealth of the world
Economics might show diminution in
it's account, but our essential humanity
would be vastly enriched"
