Excerpt from Current Questions for Thinking Men
Consider then the scholar in business life. For business colleges it is difficult to have much te spect. For colleges which mean business it is im possible not to have great admiration. Scholar ship is needed in business life to-day as never be fore first, because the relations of business life are now SO far-reaching. The world is both larger and smaller than ever before it is larger when we re gard its necessary points Of contact with our daily lives, and smaller when we regard the facility with which the contact is made. There are no hermit nations. Inspired by a unifying and sym pathetic impulse the nations have risen above their former boundaries, and have mingled their liberated waters in one great ocean Of inter national life and Christian endeavor. Steamships and railways make distant continents near neigh bors. Telegraphs and telephones have made the world a whispering gallery. They have changed the business, the diplomacy, the civilization of the century. They repeat on a gigantic scale the mar vels of each man's own nervous system.
