Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at Public Services at Bowdoin College, October Twenty-Fourth, Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen: And Other Tributes to the Memory of President William Dewittt Hyde
For the student, he erected above the psychology of the mere intellect the higher psychology of the heart and of con duct. Ethics with him meant always practical ethics, idealism meant always practical idealism, theology generally meant so cial theology, the everlasting quest of mind meant the quest of the best. And if we were to scour all his books for a single utterance typical of what he was and did, I think we might find it in these fifteen words conveying in pregnant formula his philosophy of right thinking and right living: Acceptance of anything other than the Best, after the Best is once'known, is sin.
