Varied Angles of Relation Between Religion and Society Given--Briggs Writes Preface

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Another Harvard book has been added to the great number that has already appeared this past month. "Religion and Modern Life" is its title and it contains a collection of speeches given at Phillips Brooks House from the years 1924 to 1926.

In his preface to the volume, Dean L. B. R. Briggs '75 explains that the speeches were not originally designed for publication, but that at popular demand the speakers were obliged to amplify and reconstruct the rough notes made for the speeches.

There are 16 articles in all, dealing with religion and its relation to the different phases of society handled from every angle by men whose interests vary from business to pedagogy.

Eliot Heads List

The first speech, "Religion for Modern Youth" is by Charles William Eliot '53, and it is followed by "Religion and the Mind," written by Professor J. B. Pratt '99. Among other articles which would prove especially interesting to Harvard men are: "Personal Religion," by Bishop William Lawrence '71, "The Bible, Its Nature and Its Use," by Assistant Professor H. J., Cadbury '10, "Ethics and Religion," by Professor G. H. Palmer '64, "What is the Good of Philosophy?", Professor R. B. Perry, G. '97, "Religion and Health," by Professor R. C. Cabot, "Religion in Education," by Dean H. W. Holmes '03, "Religion: Its Productive Value," by Professor T. N. Carver, "Business and Religion," Denn W. B. Donham '98, "Religion in Law and Politics," Professor W. B. Munro, G. '99, "Law, Politics, and Religion," Dean Roscoe Pound, Hon. '20, "Religion of the Future," Professor W. E. Hocking '01.
