Excerpt from Religious Activities at the University of Texas

In the second place, it is equally evident that, in the face of these conditions, we can not hope to win the desired result unless we first look for the controlling factors, and then, with tolerance and faith, with slight regard for precedents and less for prejudice, seek by actual trial to find and foster the practical methods by which the moral and spiritual character of the institution may keep pace with its material and intellectual growth. Indeed, we may question whether the failure of any institution to measure up to the standard it has set is not due to the fact that, while adjust ing itself in other respects to the new relations, it has allowed once active spiritual forces to become atrophied, because the methods of applying them are not in accord with actual needs.
