Dr. Van Dyke's Lecture on Bible

Reverend Henry Van Dyke h.'94 of Princeton gave an informal talk intended primarily for Freshmen, but open to all members of the University in Phillips Brooks House last evening. Dr. Van Dyke discussed the Bible from the college man's point of view and emphasized five points in regard to it: that any man desiring to be educated and cultivated must have an intimate knowledge of the book, which is of so much importance in English life, and literature; that as a means of discipline in the use of clear, forcible English, its study is invaluable; that as a book of earnest thought it cannot be overlooked; that it is the greatest of all moral guides and religious helpers; and that its common study will bring together the thoughtful, earnest men of the University. After the talk men were afforded an opportunity to meet Dr. Van Dyke.
